...future of America, hoping to make a favorable contrast with the evocation of the past created by Carter's pilgrimage to Warm Springs. But officially or not, the President will be campaigning hard this week. An edited version of his socko acceptance speech will be shown on CBS-TV. The President Ford Committee bought the air time, for $86,000, because the speech was delivered at 10:30 p.m. in Kansas City?a time when untold millions in such pivotal Eastern states as Pennsylvania (27 electoral votes) and New York (41) had already gone to bed. Then, staying in Washington...
...Plains and the economic impact of Carter's candidacy on the little hamlet, plus such lightweight footnotes as the candidate's appearances in Sunday school, his attendance at a Carter clan reunion and his pitching performances (fairly expert) in a series of Softball games organized by CBS-TV Producer Rick Kaplan. An unremarkable sermon on the nature of sin by the pastor of the Plains Baptist Church has been covered and grudgingly reported by the wire services.

Instead, Ford offered "a moderate position," opposing abortion on demand but recognizing that there were cases, including rape and illness, when "abortion should be permitted." He advocated a constitutional amendment that would allow each state to decide whether or not it would allow abortions...
...Ford talked with a level candor on CBS-TV's 60 Minutes. A strong advocate of equal rights for women, she repeated her beliefs about abortion-the Supreme Court's decision legalizing it, she said, was "a great, great decision." When Correspondent Morley Safer asked her about marijuana, Mrs. Ford said that she assumed her four children had sampled it and that she probably would have tried it herself when she was young: "It's the type of thing that the young people have to experience, like your first beer or your first cigarette...
