Highlights from the life of former President Jimmy Carter

Jimmy Carter, the earnest Georgia peanut farmer who as U.S. president struggled with a bad economy and the Iran hostage crisis but brokered peace between Israel and Egypt and later received the Nobel Peace Prize for his humanitarian work, died at his home in Plains, Ga., on Sunday, Dec. 29, the Carter Center said. He was 100.
