July 9-10: Reagan should take 18 of the 25 Colorado delegates. North Dakota may divide evenly: Ford nine, Reagan nine...
...Ford from reaching the 1,130 total required for nomination. In the view of Reagan strategists, he may very well sweep the 127 delegates to be chosen at state conventions in Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, Utah and Washington?all in the Western heartland of Reagan country. After splitting North Dakota's 18 votes with Ford and picking up eight in Minnesota to ten for Ford (an estimate that observers believe exaggerates Reagan's strength), Reagan will try to pick up ten more in Connecticut and Delaware, 18 in Iowa, plus four each in Idaho and Texas, bringing his total...
Although it is conceivable that Reagan could carry North Carolina and Virginia?and possibly Mississippi and Texas ?against Carter, it is by no means certain. Should he also carry California, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Arizona, New Mexico, Indiana, South Dakota and Nebraska, in all of which he has strong but by no means unchallengeable strength, he would still be 117 electoral votes short of winning. He would be forced to make up some of that deficit in the electoral-vote-rich Northern and Midwestern industrial states, where his appeal seems weakest...
...visiting his parents in Idaho, had stopped around 10:15 at the newly completed Teton Dam, 40 miles northeast of Idaho Falls. Standing on an observation platform overlooking the 3,000-ft.-long, 307-ft.-high earth-fill dam, Howard, a geography professor at Minot State College in North Dakota, began taking routine tourist pictures with his Yashica 35-mm. camera. As he watched, "that darn hole started growing-quite slowly at first-forming a small waterfall down on one side. It still looked like just a minor leak...
...first of a series that safety crusaders are trying to force. Proposals similar to Proposition 15 will be put to Oregon and Colorado voters in November, and efforts are under way to get anti-nuclear measures on the ballot in at least seven other states: Arizona, Maine, Michigan, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma and Washington. The chances that any will be passed have obviously been weakened by the California defeat. A few months ago, Consumerist Ralph Nader predicted that public opposition within five years would bring all construction of nuclear power plants in the U.S. to a dead halt; that...
