Now that his Uncle Billy has resigned his duties at the warehouse to go on the celebrity circuit, Chip Carter, 27, is running the show. The harvest is just beginning, and Chip will purchase about $4 million worth of peanuts from farmers in the area, then help handle the processing and marketing. At the end of the day, he returns home to Wife Caron and six-month-old James Earl Carter IV. Trying "to work things out" in their strained marriage, the couple are living for the moment in Rosalynn and Jimmy's ranch house at 1 Woodland Drive. Though the quarters are not up to par with the White House, they top Chip and Caron's last abode in Plains: an $8,100 mobile home near the railroad station.
"I want to keep the myth alive," Greta Garbo once said when asked about her reclusiveness. Garbo made her last film, Two-Faced Woman, in 1941 and has stayed out of the public eye ever since. But when Freelance Journalist Frederick Sands requested an interview for the German weekly Bunte Illustrierte, Garbo unexpectedly agreed. As they walked around Garbo's apartment in Klosters, Switzerland, the star, 71, admitted: "I'm restless everywhere and can't stay put. I would like to live differently somewhere, if only I knew where I could go." On daily walks, she says, "I think about my life and the past. I've ruined my life, and it's too late to change it."
THIS IS THE MOMENT ALL JAPAN HAS BEEN WAITING FOR blazed the sign above Tokyo's Korakuen Stadium last week. In the third inning of a game between the Yomiuri Giants and the Yakult Swallows, First Baseman Sadaharu Oh, 37, blasted a low, inside pitch into the rightfield stands 377 ft. away. It was his 756th career home runone more than the American major league record set in 1976 by Hank Aaron. Declared Oh, who was promptly named first holder of a National Hero Honors Order by the government: "I have finally put down an unbearable burden." Aaron hailed the slugger's achievement, cabling that "Japan has much to be proud of." (For another broken record, see SPORT.)
The hit man rushed through the audience, raised his arm andsplat! Prankster Aaron Kay, the man who once pasted Daniel Patrick Moynihan in the face with a cream pie, had struck again. This time the pie was apple crumb and the victim was New York City Mayor Abe Beame, who was participating in a mayoral forum at Manhattan's Cooper Union. Fortunately for Beame, the pie merely splattered his blue suit. The mayor shrugged off the caper with a quip: "I like the Big Apple, not apple pie."
