James Carter

After James Carter earned a surprise berth on the U.S. Olympic track and field team, he listened to overtures from agents and made plans to cash in on his newfound celebrity. Seven weeks later, Carter hasn't been in another 400-meter hurdles race. He got in a squabble with his local club, missed out on the big-money meets in Europe and instead returned to anonymity in Hampton, Va. In other words, it has been business as usual for Carter, who overcame a decade's worth of adversity to become the first Baltimorean in a generation to earn a berth in Olympic track and field.

Gov. James Earl Carter became President Jimmy, but Gov. Bill Clinton became President William J.
