...survival. Three much quoted rules: "First, eat whenever you can, even if you're not hungry; second, sleep whenever you can, even if you're not tired; third, get your laundry done whenever it's possible." Survival is sometimes even more fundamental. Correspondent Cloud, a native Californian who has reported for TIME in Moscow and Saigon, still remembers with a shudder what he calls "a white-knuckle flight" during the New Hampshire primary campaign, when the pilot of a plane bearing him and Carter and a few aides could not find an airport for his small plane...
...Democratic cloakroom just off the Senate floor, Hubert Humphrey cracked, "Segretti did it. It had to be one of the dirty-trick guys.'' Los Angeles Times Cartoonist Paul Conrad lost not a second in sketching a lascivious Jimmy Carter fantasizing over the Statue of Liberty-undraped.

Since the normal roll would begin with Alabama and be dominated at first by other states heavily favorable to Reagan, the Californian could conceivably get a little lift from piling up an early lead.

Sears is currently playing for infinitely higher stakes as Ronald Reagan's campaign manager. Thus, when the Californian's presidential hopes took a nosedive last month, Gambler Sears was forced to try to salvage the situation. By persuading Reagan to announce that Pennsylvania Senator Richard Schweiker was his choice as running mate, Sears confused the Republican delegate picture sufficiently to stanch the flow of support to Ford...
