NEW YORK -- May 11, 1999 -- ROSALYNN-CARTER, 5-11 -- Rosalynn Carter during an interview last week. Mrs. Carter was the prelude to Hillary Rodham Clinton, a quietly rebellious first lady of the late 1970's who sat in on Cabinet meetings, pushed Congress to pass mental health legislation and was asked by her party to run for the U.S. Senate seat from Georgia.'What would I have done in Washington with Jimmy at home?' said Mrs. Carter on commenting on why she did not run for the Senate.
