jane: right, so how does jimmy carter maintain that modesty? how does he do it? kevin: he has a $210,000 pension om the government. methe gove supports his office, as they do for all ex-presidents. he has a nice little houiv that he has in since 1961 with his wife, rosalynn. they live comfortably, they just don't live big -- jane: but why? kevin: because he said -- he told me over dinner -- i aske' him why he didt do this, because jerry ford, his predecessor, was the first one tonvent this modern way of living as post-president. he said he felt like he would b cashing in on ite house, and he didn't want to do that. he said, "i'm not going to go on boards, i'm not going to give big-cks speeches, but i will write books because i do that well." he has written 33 of them. theyon havepretty well. he is not a poor man, but he lives modestly. jane: i felt very warm and glowing andng nostalgic rea your piece. what is the reaction from readers? kevin: it is remarkable. it is like we tucked the country into bed and gave them a glass of warm milk. there is so much anger and

i've done a lot of work on jimmy carter. i've worked on him for many years. i felt i knew the history well. i knew far less about gerald ford. i began doing a lot of reading about him, and i realized there was room for a biography of him, another one. there had been only two written of him since his passing in 2006. one came out in 2007 by doug brinkley. another one in 2014 by james cannon who some of you may know worked with gerald ford. but i felt that both of them left room for another biography. so i contacted fred woodward who was chief editor. i said i'd like to write a biography of gerald ford, what do you think? he said great idea. the rest is history. the book itself, the title of the book reflects what i see as three themes that in my view addresses ford's political life. number one, ambition. ford was an ambitious individual. in boy scouts he worked to become an eagle scout. he played football in high school and college and sought to become a starting center on the varsity teams. in the u.s. navy he sought to rise up the ranks on the warship in whi

following jimmy carter's inauguration, ford moved to california with his wife. they had friends there. ford could play golf. they thought the weather would be good for betty. betty thought, i have my husband back finally. yet, being a loyal republican, being the workaholic, being the politician he was, ford continued to go out a lot. he was endorsing republican candidates when stumping for them, and this was hard on betty. she was continuing to abuse alcohol, continuing the addiction of painkillers. finally in 1978 there is a family intervention. gerald ford himself led the intervention to help betty. it is important to point out even though he now fully understood what betty was going through, old habits die hard. ford still wanted to be involved in politics and believed his wife would support him if he tried to get more involved. in 1980, he considered running for the presidency in his own right. when that fell through, he considered being ronald reagan's running mate. that idea fell through as well because ford wanted more power than reagan wanted to give him

i have done a lot of work on jimmy carter for years and thought i knew the history very well. i knew far less about gerald ford. so i began reading a lot about him. and i realized there was room for a biography of him, another one. there had been only two biographies written of him since his passing in 2006. one of them came out in 2007 by doug brinkley. another one in 2014 by james cannon, who some of you may know, worked with gerald ford. but i felt that both of them left some stones unturned, left room for another biography. so i contacted fred woodward, who was then the chief editor at the university of kansas. i said so them, i would like to write a biography on gerald ford, what do you think? he said, great idea. the rest is history. hence the book came out late last year. the book itself, the title of the book reflects what i see as three themes. that, in my view, addresses ford's political life. number one, ambition. ford was an ambitious individual. in boy scouts he worked to become an eagle scout. he played football in high school and in college and sought to become
