...together a winning combination. The South, plus New York, California, Ohio and Michigan, for example, yields an electoral-vote total of 307. Carter's election in 1976 was a textbook illustration of how the arithmetic works.

Says Carter: "I don't think that mathematically the Democratic Party has much of a chance to win this year...
When hollywood moguls dine at Mortons, their favorite entree is fish out of water. They love movies that reveal the familiar through brand-new eyes.

In a slick comic-book thriller, TIME contributor Martha Smilgis works a writer's hustle (Is it a book, or is it a screenplay?) in the area she knows best, Hollywood and % entertainment news. And in the tradition of Cecil...
...rally listening to a fledgling neo-Nazi discuss with a robed Klansman the religious primacy of the white race. A few steps away, a young Kluxer-in- training, his eyes peering out through slits in his hood, explains the history of a camouflaged Klanmobile, a trashed-out Ford Grenada loaded with ham-radio equipment and emblazoned with slogans like WHITE POWER and PRAISE GOD FOR AIDS...
