Jimmy Carter out of the spotlight? Bowed out? He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his work at the Carter Center, which is world renowned for conflict mediation and election monitoring. Established 2 years after leaving office.

I just finished his book "Our Endangered Values." I highly recommend it. It's currently number 8 on the NY Times Hardcover best seller list. He's definitely inserting himself into the current political scene.

"Perhaps that's why the former president, Nobel Peace Prize-winner, and bestselling author ranks as one of the planet's most respected voices in the areas of human rights, diplomacy, and good government"
