...Volunteers, with no overriding issue to turn them on and a candidate who frequently turns them off, were hard to come by everywhere. There is some confusion between the relatively conservative Carter who speaks of love, healing and balanced budgets and the angry populist Carter who laces into the fat cats and promises Government programs that sound expensive. Perhaps Carter's worst problem is still the fact that most voters do not feel they know him. Admits Gerard Doherty, the Bostonian directing the Carter campaign in New York: "People still feel they haven't seen him or smelled...
...Amin Dada, It's difficult to imagine a film which could make Idi Amin look good, but this one does, if only by contrast to the director's superficial and racist approach. Focussing almost entirely on Amin talking, the film portrays him as a fat African who speaks pidgin English, looks awfully funny in Western dress, and has delusions of grandeur.

NORTHEAST. Carter is now ahead, but if he stumbles Ford has a slim chance of capturing the fat bags of votes in New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Explains a top New York Democrat: "The Catholic problem is real for Carter. A lot of union people are still holding back. The business with the bishops?he has to find a way to take the sting out of that. People are not against him, but they're not yet hot for him either." New England breaks down fairly neatly: Ford is ahead in the top tier of Vermont, New Hampshire...
