I can’t remember who it was, but a journalist once wrote of feeling like something weird was going on during an interview with Carter, who’d respond to every question with a long, drawn-out pause. “I then realised that what he was doing was thinking.”

Normally if you ask pols (incl retired ones) questions like that you get a not unreasonable "it was all very difficult, the politics weren't right, difficult choices" etc. Not Carter. He said: "I was wrong. I've tried to learn from my mistakes". A remarkable degree of humility. A good man. RIP. 2/2
