...strategy sessions with top aides had kept Carter up past 3 a.m., and he was in no mood to be pushed when staffers gave him the bad news: he was scheduled to campaign in seven Illinois cities that day, and was booked for five broadcast interviews, four speeches and three handshaking tours on the next day.

Italian domestic sales in 1975 fell 17.6%, the sharpest drop in 30 years; but recovery has started, with January 33% above the same month last year.
