...Washington, President-elect Jimmy Carter said he was "deeply disturbed," although he did not mention the incident in a telephone conversation with Giscard about an economic summit. The State Department expressed its "strong conviction that terrorists should be dealt with sternly by legal authorities." The protest was rejected by the Quai d'Orsay as "inadmissible comment on the acts of French courts...
Frantic Search. Another problem: the scheduled cover story on how President-elect Jimmy Carter chose Walter Mondale as his running mate had been written by one of the missing, Reeves. Brady asked him if he could use the story. Reeves refused. After a frantic search, Brady settled on a piece by Syndicated Columnist Nick Thimmesch, describing how John Ehrlichman spent his last days before jail, which had already run in part in Potomac, the Washington Post's Sunday supplement...

"I ain't worried about getting up," he said. "It's coming down." A contingent of reporters big enough for a moon shot watched Billy soar aloft, narrowly missing a utility pole, and sail over the pine trees of Americus, Ga., with the pilot and a friend. Billy blithely ignored federal recommendations that ballooners use hard hats. Instead...
