Behind the scenes, a gentle family tug of war seems to be under way. "Just plain Jimmy" is not fond of black-tie dress for those nighttime parties, let alone the white-tie-and-tails costuming of inaugural balls. But Wife Rosalynn, out of understandable sentiment, is apparently determined to wear the same blue satin gown she wore on the evening of her husband's inauguration as Governor of Georgia in 1971.

Susan Ford, 19, does not like-or excel in-public speaking, and can be pouty about campaigning, but she is fond of parades. So, smiling like a homecoming queen, Susan is dispatched to march down Main Streets at the first roll of a drum. Mike Ford, 26, married and a divinity student at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, Mass., last week announced that he had decided to get involved in the campaign because it was his Christian duty to do so. Opening the Ford headquarters in Augusta, Me., Mike graciously dismissed the criticism of Carter's lust...
