Right On! There were signs, how ever, that Carter's seemingly compulsive downhill racing has at least slowed. Many state Democratic organizations were finally beginning to mesh with Carter's carpetbaggers and with his Atlanta headquarters. Now that the polls show Carter is in danger of losing, some party leaders are more likely to submerge their jealousies in the interest of capturing the White House. Carter be came markedly more aggressive on the stump, refocusing attention on what is his strongest issue: the economy.

To protect themselves, white farmers have installed pushbutton alarm systems that alert police posts in case of attack. Fierce Rhodesian ridgeback dogs roam the grounds, and thick steel mesh covers many windows. Some have even dug sandbagged slit trenches in their yards to provide quick cover. Almost nobody drives after sunset, and evening social life has evaporated. 'This is costing me a packet," says one farmer. "But there's no other life for me. My father farmed...
