Whether this cordiality will extend into the final days of what has been a tough, acerbic campaign remains to be seen. The Ford Committee plans to spend some $10 million-40% of the total for the President's entire campaign-on a closing media blitz that will continue to include spots focusing on Carter's record as Governor of Georgia and his supposed tendency to waffle on the issues.

But August Darnell's lyrics, shaped by Singer Cory Daye's sweet husky alto, extend beyond the "boogie down" formula.

(Reagan's Panama hat is now worn by California Senatorial Candidate S.I. Hayakawa, who insists: "We should keep the canal. We stole it fair and square.")
