...Chicago to Pine Bluff, Ark. (100°), to Dallas and Harlingen, Texas (103°), to Fresno, Calif. (106°). Scheduled weeks ago, the tour was originally intended to tout such pet projects as a self-help volunteer fair and a community health center and to raise funds for her husband's reelection. But after the recent maelstrom, reported TIME Correspondent Johanna McGeary, the trip turned into a roving revival meeting intended to restore America's lapsed faith in Carter. "He's healthy, he's happy, he's confident," Rosalynn declared in one encounter after another...
