Thanks, Fred. That's a page in a Rolling Stone cover article from 1977 about Jimmy Carter's young aides Jody Powell and Hamilton Jordan. I was about their age and big fans of their boss, and my Mom happened to be working in the White House at the time and got them to sign it for me. Things didn't work out all that well for Carter's presidency, of course, and sadly, both Powell and Jordan died young, but I still treasure this piece. Carter is the only President I've ever met personally, at the All-Century Team gathering in Atlanta in 1999, and I am still a big fan of his administration and of him personally.
