...delegations to watch included Mississippi, whose members were expected to arrive in Kansas City still intent on giving all of its 30 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...
...Jackson; and Swan Yerger, a Jackson attorney. The new breed is led by Gil Carmichael, a Meridian Volkswagen dealer who ran remarkable, but losing races for Senator and Governor. Following tradition, the two factions agreed in April that the delegation would cast all of its 30 votes as a unit, based on a majority vote among all 60 members...

Little Brain. Korean technical know-how is in demand too; Seoul Architect S.G. Kim, for example, is designing a 4,200-unit apartment house in Tehran for a fee of $1 million. But Americans and Europeans are better at providing technical services, admits Seoul Businessman Chongwhan Choi, and on the whole, he says, he and his compatriots are content "doing jobs that require a lot of muscle power but little brain." To meet the construction deadline for the Jubail harbor, for example, Hyundai Co. is flying in 300 workers a week for an eventual total of 3,300, and Korean...
