ROBERT RAY, 47, Governor of Iowa, whose approval rating in his fourth term is an astronomical 82%. Ray is more liberal than Ford, favors the Equal Rights Amendment and abortion-and opposes capital punishment. He helped bring about broad tax reform in Iowa, including repeal of levies on food and prescription drugs, while staving off any general tax increase. Major drawbacks: he would bring to the ticket only what fellow-Midwesterner Ford already gives it-honesty, simplicity-and blandness...
...Watergate TV star who is Tennessee's other Senator, is far better known and more moderate than Brock. Says he: "In Washington I'm thought of as a conservative, but in Tennessee I'm thought of as a Bolshevik." He supported fair housing and opposed repeal of the one-man, one-vote principle. He also opposes busing and the Consumer Protection Agency and often votes against Pentagon cutbacks. His ACA ratings in 1975 dropped to 54% from previous ratings in the 70s. But he has never taken pains to ingratiate himself with party stalwarts; he is known...

Perhaps most interestingly, the platform specifically calls for the end to the relaxation of the arms embargo against South Africa and prohibits the granting of U.S. tax credits for companies doing business in Namibia and paying taxes to South Africa. And it calls for the repeal of the Byrd Amendment which permits the importation of Rhodesian chrome. I asked Rep. Shirley Chisholm if she believes that Jimmy Carter would live up to the party platform principles on Africa. She said she believes he very clearly embraces these principles, and that no president has ever done as much as Jimmy Carter...
...TIME before his surprise speech, Wilkins reminisced about the 1954 decision by the Supreme Court in Brown v. the Board of Education as the "final crowning glory which said that separate but equal was no more." But he says that today the issue of busing is being used to repeal the effects of the court's decision. "If you freeze the neighborhood school patterns that are present, you go straight back to Plessy v. Ferguson [the 1896 Supreme Court ruling that established the separate-but-equal doctrine]. The neighborhood white school is always better than the black school...
