...MIDWEST. Carter is solid in Minnesota, West Virginia and Oklahoma as well as Kentucky, although the Playboy interview has hurt him in that state. He holds a narrow lead in Missouri. South Dakota and Ohio are leaning slightly to Ford; Carter is hurt in the Buckeye State by voter apathy and Eugene McCarthy. The President has more solid margins in Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Nebraska and North Dakota.

...Seminary in South Hamilton, Mass., last week announced that he had decided to get involved in the campaign because it was his Christian duty to do so. Opening the Ford headquarters in Augusta, Me., Mike graciously dismissed the criticism of Carter's lust-in-his-heart remarks in Playboy. "It was just an honest expression of his human nature," said he, adding that the interview was not a valid campaign issue...
