Sometimes it’s news when something

Sometimes it’s news when something doesn’t happen. Yesterday Jimmy Carter accepted the Nobel Peace Prize, and he did not use the occasion to attack the present Administration. Based on news accounts and these excerpts, his speech seems to have been unexceptionable (albeit platitudinous). Since we would have been among the first to jump on Carter if he had misused the event for partisan ends, it seems only fair to note that on this occasion, he did not betray his country.
