While first-lady Anne-Aymone is under attack for using inside sources to make a killing on the Paris stock market, adviser Michel Poniatowski is being investigated for obstructing justice, and two first cousins have been accused of following the Executive's lead in accepting diamonds from former Central African dictator Jean-Bedel Bokassa, French President Valerie Giscard d'Estaing nonetheless stands as perhaps the most secure of western leaders, facing a red carpet to reelection...

...rushed to the CBS booth to line up Ford for an interview of her own. Rumors raced through the hall fueled by television reports, which were in turn fueled by the rumors on the floor. Three politicians and two journalists told Reagan's floor whip, Congressman Robert Michel, that the presidential nominee was about to arrive with Ford. "Where did you hear that?" Michel demanded. Someone replied that Dan Rather had reported it. Michel tried to call the Reagan suite and G.O.P. Chairman Bill Brock, but could not reach either.
