  1. One of the things that surprised people (At least that didn't know him) when Billy died, was his huge library. He read at least one book a day, sometimes two. He had boxes full of books, many with notes and annotations written in the margins. He saw that he was being portrayed as an uneducated hillbilly and decided to go with it because he really didn't care, and it was easier than trying to point out that others were wrong. In some ways he was like Sorrell Booke, the actor best known as Boss Hogg on the original Dukes of Hazard. People saw him as a country buffoon. Booke, in reality, was a former counter intelligence officer who was fluent in 6 languages and could converse in at the that many more. He wrote a number of advisory papers for both the military and State Department during his civilian life.

  2. Useless trivia. He fought, unsuccessfully, to be listed on the ballot as Jimmy Carter. Instead his full name, James Earl Carter, appeared. He was afraid of being associated with James Earl Ray, the assassin of Dr King.
