RICHARD KNEIP, Governor of South Dakota: I would count myself separate from my family. I was one of nine children. My father started out as a shoemaker. He was a very hard man. It was not a loving kind of relationship then, but in the past ten years I could not have been closer to anyone than I was to my father. In his later years he mellowed. Earlier he was very anti-education. He threw me down the stairs of his office when I told him that I wanted to go to college. He thought it was a waste...

So is crucial Ohio, although Carter is believed to be gaining support in the traditionally Republican areas downstate, where his farming background and Southern roots are appreciated...
NEITHER GOOD HEALTH, nor bad, is ever distributed fairly. In 1973 there were 178 doctors for every 100,000 people in the United States. But while there were 265 active physicians per 100,000 in California, in North Dakota there were only 103. Three years later, fairness is in even more critical condition. According to the Federal Bureau of Community Health Services, in 826 American rural areas there is only one doctor for every 4000 people.
