...sense that the Carter support seemed weak was the lack of a turnout on the early nights of the convention. On Tuesday night the platform readings clashed head-on with the All-Star Game in nearby Philadelphia, and the game won handsdown. In at least two large delegations, the Ohio and Pennsylvania contingents, there were more empty seats than full ones at times--possibly because Ohio (Cincinnati Reds) and Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh Pirates and Philadelphia Phillies) had so many representatives. Don't laugh. "That's not a dubious thesis at all," Richard Celeste, Lt. Governor of Ohio, said in corroboration. "There...
Democratic National Committee Chairman Robert Strauss has persistently worked the theme of party unity. It would doubtless be an underpinning of the keynote addresses by Ohio Senator John Glenn and Texas Congresswoman Barbara Jordan. In his acceptance speech Thursday night, Carter himself intends to look further ahead, stressing reorganization in Washington, openness and responsiveness in Government, competence and trust. He will probably not attempt to coin a New Deal-style slogan or spend much time criticizing the Republicans. Carter and his staff are planning a speech to last only about 20 minutes...
JOHN GLENN, 54, freshman Senator from Ohio, who will be one of the two keynote speakers. Glenn, the first man to orbit the earth, is obviously accustomed to performing with the world's eyes and ears focused on him. It took him three tries before he landed his Senate seat in 1974.

With his familiar face, his easy, Eisenhower-like smile and technocrat's precise mind, Glenn is a major contender for second place...
...OHIO'S GLENN, 55. The former astronaut-hero is rated by Carter's pollster, Pat Caddell, as the most popular of the contenders. Yet Carter concedes this may be based mainly on the fact that his is the best-known name. Though Glenn has proved industrious in Washington, displaying expertise on energy and antinuclear-proliferation legislation, he has held public office only since 1975, and seems the least adequately prepared of the group to move into the White House...
Emergency Session. One hole is that a handful of states (Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, North Carolina and Ohio) allow state-chartered S & Ls to choose federal insurance, private insurance-or even no insurance. In Mississippi, eight S&Ls are uninsured; another 32 institutions doing about one-third of the S&L business in the state carry private insurance, most of it written by American Savings Insurance Co. The trouble began in early May, when two stockholders filed suit against the state's second largest S&L, the 47-branch Bankers Trust (which has no relation to the well-known...
