...votes to one candidate under a unit rule; but if some members did break ranks, Reagan would still need a big chunk of the delegation to keep his chances alive. On the other side, any Ford slippage in the big Northeast delegations-New York (154), Pennsylvania (103) and New Jersey (67)-would provide tip-offs that the President's shaky delegate edge might not hold. The votes of uncommitted delegates in Illinois, West Virginia and Wyoming would also hold clues to how the undecided were going on the roll call...

But the cell block was searched and the extraordinary head found before Sutton could test its effect. The artist does not seem to have been unduly discouraged. He had, after all, astonished his audience...
...David Eraser, 32, chief of CDC'S special bacterial pathogens branch, flew to Philadelphia as soon as the CDC received Pennsylvania's call for help. He supervised the collection, by a staff of 18 investigators, of the materials that his laboratory colleagues at headquarters would need: throat swabbings, garglings, blood samples, urine and fecal specimens and-from victims already dead -snippets of lung and other tissue. Batch after batch of these were collected and flown to Atlanta, where they were hand-carried...
