Jimmy Carter, former US president, turns 100
bbc.com
Jimmy Carter celebrates his 100th birthday on Tuesday, making him the first US president to reach the milestone.
Carter, a Democrat who served in the White House from 1977 to 1981, has spent the past 19 months in hospice care in his home state of Georgia.
But the former peanut farmer, who first entered politics in the 1960s as a state senator, is "emotionally engaged and still having experiences and laughing, loving," his grandson, Jason, said in September.
And the centenarian still has political ambitions: "I'm only trying to make it to vote for Kamala Harris" in November's election, the humanitarian and Nobel Prize recipient said, according to his grandson.

Any and every headline that begins with "Jimmy Carter, former US President" makes my stomach drop a bit. For like a decade now.
Seriously, with all the other bad celebrity news lately, I expected the worst.
Yup, my heart skipped a little beat before I got to the end.
I had read the headline before this post and still gasped.
