...Next week he stands a good chance to pick up his sixth, in North Carolina. But few victories that he has ever gained were quite as reassuring to him as last week's win in Florida-a big, fast growing, variegated state that until recently had been considered Ronald Reagan country. After Ford got the news in Washington, last Tuesday night, he grinned broadly and declared, unmemorably, "All I can say is that it feels as warm and comforting as a ray of Florida sunshine...
However, after President Nixon's summit meeting with Brezhnev in 1972, the U.S. press latched onto detente and soon both Kissinger and Nixon were using the word as shorthand to sum up U.S.-Soviet relations. Now, in face of critics like Ronald Reagan, who charge that detente means unilateral concessions to the Russians, Ford has adopted the clumsy phrase "peace through strength...
Because of the attention given to the Democratic contest in Massachusetts, the Republican primary passed almost unnoticed. As expected, Gerald Ford soundly beat Ronald Reagan, with 62% of the vote.

Half of the declared presidential candidates are from the Sunbelt, but they range across the political spectrum from conservative to moderate to very liberal: California's Ronald Reagan, Alabama's George Wallace, Georgia's Jimmy Carter, Arizona's Morris Udall, Oklahoma's Fred Harris and, until they dropped out, Texas' Lloyd Bentsen and North Carolina's Terry Sanford. After the 1980 census, if the current population shifts continue, the states of the South...
