Carter was contemporary to BSG: elected in 1976, Innaugerated Jan, 1977, Camp David Peace Accord signed by Begin and Sadat: Sept. 17, 1978 10:30 pm EDT (why would all of us know that??
) and the hostage crisis in Iran would start a little more than a year after that....444 days before Ronald Regan's Innaugaration in Jan, 1981. And Anwar Sadat would be assasinated with in a few years of the peace accord signing.
