Readers of The Morning share wisdom for the coming year. View in browser | nytimes.com December 28, 2024 By Melissa Kirsch Good morning.

We're looking back at the life of Jimmy Carter. We're also covering the plane crash in South Korea, the Lebanese economy and beer drinking. Former President Jimmy Carter  Damon Winter/The New York Times Remembering Jimmy Carter We're devoting today's newsletter to Jimmy Carter, the 39th president, who died yesterday at age 100 at his home in Plains, Ga. Carter lived to be the oldest former president in American history, and the only one to reach 100. He rose from Georgia farmland to the presidency in 1976, elected on a promise of healing the country after Watergate and the Vietnam War.
