...expected, Carter sailed to easy victories in the Arkansas, Kentucky and Tennessee primaries, while Church won his home state of Idaho and Brown scored an overwhelming win in Nevada...
...Moreover, Udall made a deal with Church not to campaign in Nebraska to keep the anti-Carter vote from splitting. Even so, Church was flabbergasted by the skinny 39-38% win. In his victory speech in Omaha, he effusively thanked the people of Nevada, until Wife Bethine urgently whispered, "Nebraska."

One-eighth was to be divided among Houston's Rice University and the Universities of Texas, Nevada and California. Eight different groups of beneficiaries got one-sixteenth shares (about $150 million each): the Mormon church; William Lummis, a cousin in Houston; and a man named Melvin Dummar, who leases a gas station in Willard, Utah. Hughes' former wives (Ella Rice and Jean Peters) were to divide...
