Jimmy Carter | morning
I’ve just finished my 20th book this past year and I’m working on my 21st book about the Middle East right now that I’ll finish this year.

The Carter Center has the only existing international taskforce on disease eradication. Which means a total elimination of a disease on the face of the Earth. In the history of the world, there’s only been one disease eradicated: smallpox. The second disease, I think, is gonna be guinea worm.
