While the propriety of using one's kith and kin in such a fashion can be debated (see TIME ESSAY), there is no doubt that the cheerfully assorted Carters and Fords have enlivened the 1976 race for the White House. "They provide a spark," says Chuck Parrish, Carter's coordinator in the swing state of Texas. "They bring the excitement of the national campaign down to the local level." Jack Ford, the President's 24-year-old son, might also be speaking for the Carter children when he says, "Since the character of the candidate...

Since Mencken published his notorious essay in 1920, many oases have bloomed in that Sahara, among them the present-day Universities of North Carolina, Texas and Virginia as well as Duke, Vanderbilt, Rice and Tulane. Nevertheless, when indices of excellence are applied to higher education, the South, in general, comes up short. Slightly more than a quarter of the nation's 3,016 accredited institutions are located there, but a 1970 study showed that the South had only 5% of the nation's best graduate programs and just 8% of the best graduate faculties. In 1975 fewer than...
