apologized.
“Oh, call me Jimmy,” he said.
But she couldn’t. The whole family called him Mr.
President.
He sat at one end of Mary Diehl’s sofa. She shuddered.
It’s the worst seat in her living room.
“He was a lot more at ease than I was,” she says. “He
has so many interests, he makes you feel at home. Our
oldest granddaughter has a record collection. He liked
that. Our youngest granddaughter is the same age as
Amy. I’m interested in Indian artifacts. So’s he.”
The Coopers invited their grandchildren to spend the
night.
Carter lifted one grandson, an 11-month-old boy who
looked at him sleepily. Then he perched a 4-year-old
granddaughter in his lap and fed her some of his ice
cream.
Mary Diehl learned he likes mixed nuts. So she had
some for him. But he’s easy to please. Kay Thompson put
out cheese dip and crackers.
“I feel at home,” Carter said.

Elizabeth Cooper promised White House aides “we
would make it easy for him to be in his room by 11 p.m. At
five minutes after 11 p.m., we went to bed.”
But the Thompsons couldn’t resist staying up without
him to watch his arrival on television.
“Before we went to bed,” says Woody Diehl, “Mary
asked him if he’d like some milk, buttermilk or fruit.
“He said, ‘l’d just like a glass of buttermilk.’
“Well, Mary likes buttermilk, too, so she poured them
each a glass. I got a little fruit yogurt out of the
refrigerator. We leaned there against the kitchen counter
and visited for another 10 or 20 minutes just like he was
your neighbor down the road.
“I said, ‘l’m usually up by 6.’ He said, ‘Six will be fine.
You call me at 6, and I won’t bother to set my alarm.’
“At 6 in the morning, I went down the hall and knocked
on the door. I said, ‘Mr. President, it’s 6 o’clock’ — just
like I used to call my hired men.”
But a thought stopped Woody Diehl in his tracks.
He added through the bedroom door: “‘The cold is
where the hot should be and the hot is where the cold
should be.”
To a family, Carter’s hosts say he comes to breakfast
bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. There are no reports of
presidential snoring.
He told Elizabeth Cooper he didn’t want breakfast. But
when he got to the table he couldn’t turn down fresh
peaches and cream and homemade tomato juice brought
by a neighbor.
At the Diehls, he asked for just coffee.
The Thompsons cooked a breakfast of scrambled eggs,
bacon, sausages, scones and coffee. Carter cleaned his
plate.
Before he left the Diehls, Woody asked him if he could
take 30 seconds and meet the hired hands. “Why, sure,”
the president said.
“Please excuse Jane for being late,” he wrote for Kay
Thompson’s 14-year-old daughter, tardy at school. “She
had a guest in her house.”
He won’t leave a thank-you note on your pillow, but
you’ll get one almost immediately in the mail — hand
written by the president.

Study reveals oil
profits adequate
By STAN BENJAMIN
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - A
new economic study sponsored
by a conservative research or
ganization suggests the petro
leum industry is exaggerating
claims that it needs higher
profits.
The study, commissioned by
the American Enterprise In
stitute, says the apparent low
profits of oil companies in past
years were actually higher than
average for the amount of in
vestor risk involved.
The petroleum industry’s
money-making record thus
seemed good enough to attract
investment money, said the
study.
That conclusion seems to
challenge one of the oil in
dustry’s chief arguments for
deregulation of oil and natural
gas prices. The industry has
contended that controlled prices
make profits too low to attract
investors, thus hampering ex
ploration and development of
new energy sources.
The analysis was prepared
for the Washington-based in
stitute by Shyam Sunder, as
sistant professor of accounting
at the Graduate School of Busi
ness of the University of Chi
cago.
Sunder first figured out the

profits of the oil industry over
the past 15 years by the usual
measurements, such as return
on net worth, or return on as
sets. He concluded, as others
have found, that the industry’s
profits lagged behind U.S. in
dustry in general until the steep
price increases associated with
the Arab oil embargo of 1973-74.
Sunder said recent profits
only made up for the lower
profits of earlier years and may
not represent a future trend.
But in his analysis, Sunder
noted that standard profit
measurements fail to take into
account an investor’s risk.
To include the risk factor, he
did a series of unusual and
complicated calculations.
First, Sunder figured out how
much oil industry profits fluc
tuate compared with all other
industries —a measure of un
certainty or risk known to stock
analysts as a “beta coef
ficient”.
From that, Sunder figured a
normal range of profits and
calculated how much the oil in
dustry’s earnings deviated from
the norm for the years 1961
through 1975.
On that “risk-adjusted”
basis, Sunder concluded that oil
industry profitability was ac
tually a bit higher than the av
erage for all other industries.
