Security was agreeably loose, however; Secret Service agents, clad in jeans and T shirts, lounged in deck chairs and smiled amiably at the few nervous passengers who strolled hesitantly past the President's rear cabin. Carter roamed on board freely, but generally alone, though he and Rosalynn viewed the vessel's mild entertainments-a card-sharping exhibition and the movie Showboat-and shared drinks in the lounge one night with a group...
