...Ford visited the Mississippi delegation at week's end, he got a warm reception but no commitment on how the votes there would go. TIME'S count of the delegation showed that the President held a solid edge with 27 delegates favoring him, 16 leaning toward Reagan and 15 uncommitted (two were on vacation and unreachable...
...truth was that Ford had made significant gains among the uncommitted delegates, and the nomination, however uncertainly, was within his grasp. TIME'S delegate count placed Ford's vote at 1,121-just nine short of the needed majority. Reagan had 1,078, putting him 52 short. Only 60 delegates remained uncommitted...
...German women's team, which had never won an Olympic gold medal, took nearly all of them last week-and a lioness's share of the silvers and bronzes too.

Jaber figures that 32,000 have been killed so far; for tiny Lebanon, that is the equivalent of 2.2 million dead in an American civil war. He is worried, however, that his figure may be on the low side. As many as 6,000 more people may be missing, their bodies never found, much less counted...
