JIMMY CARTER
Jimmy Carter signs a typescript from his interview published in the
November 1976 issue of "Playboy" magazine.
Typescript signed: "Roaslynn &/J Carter", 1p, 5¼x7¼.
Captioned photograph, b/w, 1¼x2, at right. Excerpt from Carter's interview
published in the November 1976 issue of "Playboy" magazine. In part: "The
Bible says 'Thou shalt not commit adultery.' Christ said, I tell you that anyone
who looks on a woman with lust has in his heart already committed adultery. I've
looked on a lot of women with lust. I've committed adultery in my heart many
times...." Photograph by Ken Hawkins. Carter's response in "Playboy" was in
answer to a question about his religious beliefs -- and almost proved to be his
political undoing. At the time he granted this interview to "Playboy" writers
Barry Golson and Robert Scheer, Jimmy Carter was running for President against
incumbent President Gerald Ford, who had succeeded to the presidency upon the
resignation of Richard M. Nixon in August 1974. The "Playboy" interview
became an issue in the campaign. In one of his three debates with Ford, Carter
apologized to the American people for having granted this "Playboy" interview.
Although Carter won the election by 297-240 electoral votes, he believed the
margin could have been much greater had he not granted the interview. Fine
condition.
