    The largest grizzly hunt in the Lower 48 in more than 40 years is set to open next month in Wyoming, and more than 7,000 people applied for a chance to kill one of up to 22 bears. Among the tiny number of people who won the draw for permits is a wildlife photographer who has produced some of the most famous images of the area’s grizzlies.

  • Notable quotes by Jimmy Carter
    South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Sunday - 12/29/2024 - 05:15 PM

    Some quotations from Jimmy Carter: We have a tendency to exalt ourselves and to dwell on the weaknesses and mistakes of others. I have come to realize that in every person there is something fine and pure and noble, along with a desire for self-fulfillment.

  • Without Florida, Jimmy Carter might never have become president
    South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Sunday - 12/29/2024 - 04:26 PM

    Jimmy Carter, the former president who died Sunday at age 100, was best known for his post-presidential humanitarian efforts at home and around the world, and his work advancing democracy and peace. He also made a big difference to Florida — and Florida made a big difference to him. Carter burst into the national conversation almost five decades ago, with a strong showing in the 1976 Iowa presidential caucuses, providing him with crucial attention and a burst of momentum. But he might not have made it much farther, to the Democratic presidential nomination and to the White House, without Florida.

  • Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter dies at 100
    South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Sunday - 12/29/2024 - 04:18 PM

    By Christopher Quinn, Ernie Suggs The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Former President Jimmy Carter, a man who redefined what a post-presidency could be, died Sunday. He was 100.

The only Georgian ever elected to the White House, Carter left office after a single term that was highlighted by forging peace between Israel and Egypt, but was overshadowed by the Iran hostage crisis.
