Actually Carter was Never a nuke engineer. He might have become one but he resigned to go back and take over the farms .
He did serve on a sub but not as an engineer.
so he got credit for smarter about nuke energy that he was.

I’ve always been amazed that Cronkite admitted that he’d slanted news in a liberal way his entire career. Growing up with him on the news, we just saw it as the news. There were no significant differences between CBS, ABC, NBC. The real difference was that Cronkite had that made-for-TV voice. If he were in news in this day, he’d be Chris Matthews. That’s a depressing thought.
Which he apparently did before learning that the word is not pronounced "New-kew-lar"
