Dasher - that was his Secret Service code name when he ran for President - and the facts of his life are well known: schoolboy, naval officer, peanut farmer, defeated candidate, Governor, President. He's spoken millions of words to us citizens of the United States, and lots of us still wonder who he is. James Wooten has known him for a long time - as Atlanta bureau chief, as campaign correspondent, and now as White House Correspondent for The New York Times.

We Are All the Same: A Boy's Courage and a Mother's Love
(The extraordinary story of the little South African boy w...)
The extraordinary story of the little South African boy whose bravery and fierce determination to make a difference despite being born with AIDS has made him the human symbol of the world's fight against the disease, told by the veteran American journalist whose life he changed. Five million more people contracted HIV last year alone. We've all seen the statistics, and they numb us; on some level our minds shut down to a catastrophe of this scope. As with other such immense human tragedies in the past, it can take the story of one special child's life to make us open our minds and our hearts. While the majority of all AIDS cases occur in Africa, a South African boy named Nkosi Johnson did not become "an icon of the struggle for life," in Nelson Mandela's words, because he was representative but because he was so very remarkable.

Creek Indians inhabited land that was to become Telfair County. The early population was made up of settlers of Scottish descent. They had to produce almost everything they used, from food to equipment. Named for Edward Telfair, a two-term governor of Georgia, the county was formed in 1807 from a portion of Wilkinson County. Gradually, several counties were formed from parts of Telfair. Since 1870, Telfair County has kept its current boundaries.
