July 17: Reagan should carry Utah 17 to 3, but Ford stands to recoup in Connecticut, carrying at least 30 of its 35 delegates...
...chosen in twelve states, Reagan appears certain to close the gap and prevent Ford from reaching the 1,130 total required for nomination. In the view of Reagan strategists, he may very well sweep the 127 delegates to be chosen at state conventions in Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, Utah and Washington?all in the Western heartland of Reagan country. After splitting North Dakota's 18 votes with Ford and picking up eight in Minnesota to ten for Ford (an estimate that observers believe exaggerates Reagan's strength), Reagan will try to pick up ten more in Connecticut and Delaware...
Although it is conceivable that Reagan could carry North Carolina and Virginia?and possibly Mississippi and Texas ?against Carter, it is by no means certain. Should he also carry California, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Arizona, New Mexico, Indiana, South Dakota and Nebraska, in all of which he has strong but by no means unchallengeable strength, he would still be 117 electoral votes short of winning. He would be forced to make up some of that deficit in the electoral-vote-rich Northern and Midwestern industrial states, where his appeal seems weakest...
Brown is also urging votes for uncommitted delegates who are running under his banner in Rhode Island next week and New Jersey on June 8. His staff has hopes of picking up delegates from Delaware, North Dakota, Utah and Colorado in the coming weeks. A realistic expectation is that he will arrive at the convention with something over 200 delegates-and then, who knows? He insists that he has a chance of beating back Carter some time after the first ballot at the convention. Says Brown: "If I do, I see no reason why I shouldn...
...known to be naturally capable of fixing nitrogen from the air-joining it to other substances to form compounds necessary for plant growth. Most other plants must obtain their nitrogen from natural and man-made fertilizers. But scientists are seeking to give more plants this nitrogen-fixing ability. At Utah's Brigham Young University, biologists are attempting to "infect" other species of plants with rhizobia. Scientists in England have isolated the segment of the rhizobial DNA that controls the nitrogen-fixing capability. Now they and other scientists are trying to incorporate this gene into the genetic material of plants...
