...victory seriously stalled Reagan's strategy of seeking a quick knockout in the early primaries-a gamble that could leave Reagan without the will and resources for the long difficult fight now necessary to eliminate Ford. Reagan contended that he was "happy" to "come out with a virtual tie with the incumbent President." His showing was indeed impressive in a historical context, but in fact his aides expected him to win. Now Reagan badly needs to defeat Ford in Florida to erase the "Reagan can't win" label that Ford's men are pushing...
...Angeles-born U.S. citizen when she went to Japan in 1941 to visit a sick aunt. She was trapped in the war, and as a virtual P.O.W., she claims, was forced to make several of the 340 U.S.-monitored broadcasts. Her on-the-air nickname was "Orphan Ann."

Nor, at 56, can he count on his health holding up for another campaign (see MEDICINE). If he is denied the Democratic nomination-a virtual certainty-he is not sure what he will do. Though splinter groups want to run him on a third-party ticket, he has not yet given them the nod, and he may never do so. He would have no chance of winning, and if he were to draw votes about...
