...most persuasive argument with the leaders would be fresh primary victories. This week 56 delegates will be chosen in Montana, Rhode Island and South Dakota. But Carter is concentrating on the vastly more important "Super Bowl" next week, when 540 Democratic delegates will be elected in California, New Jersey and Ohio. He is expected to lose California to Brown but still pick up many of the state's delegates. In Ohio, he maintained his lead, which he was trying to widen by aggressive campaigning. But in New Jersey, his lead became more fragile when his opponents-a slate...
...President needed that lift because the fight now moves mostly to Reagan's friendly Southern and Western turf. Of this week's six primaries (Oregon, Nevada, Idaho, Kentucky, Tennessee and Arkansas) and next week's trio (Montana, Rhode Island and South Dakota), Ford was a favorite only in Oregon and Rhode Island. With the delegate count so close, the final "Super Bowl" day of primaries in California, New Jersey and Ohio on June 8 could be decisive...

"If you sell your house in the valley, you're not going to make enough to buy one on the hill," said Mrs. Verna Hammer, who has taken up residence in a local school...
Photos like these are the funniest and happiest pictures of the exhibit. Though there are more beautiful and more impressive couples than Orion Barger's South Dakota small townies, there are none more ingeneously endearing. One couple is especially memorable in their commonplaceness, a middle-aged man sweeping a fat homely woman up in his arms. She clutches a frumpy purse in one hand and him in the other; her skirt hitches up over her knees. Probably she would blush slightly, looking at the picture later, and explain to anyone looking over her shoulder, "Oh, that's when we were...
