...Ambassador to the U.N. by Ford. He was expected to be no great shakes as a campaigner, but he seems to be catching on. With his polka-dot bow tie, his artfully rumpled look, appearing a mite donnish and inevitably puckish, he cuts a rare figure on the campaign trail. But then, no one ever accused him of being conventional. Bubbling over with ideas, he sometimes lets his thoughts race ahead of his prudence. But so far he has not made another gaffe on the order of "benign neglect," the phrase taken from one of his memos to Nixon...
...recent months gang members have blazed a trail of terror. They accosted one youth on the street, ordered him to run, then shot him in the buttocks for no reason. They boarded buses and relieved all passengers of their valuables. They branched out to the Edsel Ford and the Lodge freeways, descending on stalled cars like army ants to rob, beat and rape terrified motorists.

Whatever his true identity, Gauthier left a trail of druggings, robberies and murders that stretches from Hong Kong to Kathmandu-and perhaps farther.

His great-grandfather, Charles Trail, ran for state senator with Abe Lincoln in 1864. His grandfather, Maryland State Senator John Mathias, campaigned beside Teddy Roosevelt in 1912. Mathias himself was a founder of the Wednesday Club of Republican moderates in both the U.S. House and Senate. On the eve of the Kansas City convention, TIME National Political Correspondent Robert Ajemian visited Mathias and reported...
...upward of 50 reporters, photographers, network-TV cameramen and technicians who accompanied Carter to Plains were at first pleased with the change of pace from Manhattan and the long primary trail. Now, however, they are suffering from advanced ennui and frustration-enhanced by South Georgia's sauna-like summer climate and the bountiful swarms of gnats, chiggers and fire ants. Exulted the Boston Globe's Curtis Wilkie, himself a native of the Deep South, as he prepared to escape from Plains on a vacation: "Free at last, free at last, great God a-mighty, ah'm free...
