Carter Aide Expects Narrowing Lead In Polls
Jimmy Carter campaign manager Hamilton Jordan says the lead over Ford will narrow and debates may be less crucial. He notes Gallup shows 49-39, down from 62-29 after the convention, and that lower margins rally staff as salaries are cut to save money and sharpen effort. Chief pollster Patrick Caddell adds that Ford’s strength may cap and debates hinge on Carter himself.

Mile Long Painting Dedicated In Chicago
A mile long mural in Chicago is hailed as possibly the world’s longest. Funded by Model Cities through Comprehensive Employment Training, the 20 foot high Paradrama was created by forty teens under Ricardo Alonzo along a Northwestern Railway embankment. About 3,000 people attended the dedication, with factories supplying paint and lunches, and officials expect city and suburban visitors to walk along the art. The mural features diverse themes including endangered species, American Gothic with gas masks, pollution, and a Lake Michigan skyline with a dolphin, reflecting community history and local culture.

Tehran guerrilla attack targets Americans in morning rush
Iran reports several gunmen stopped an American car in Tehran's Subarar district during the morning rush hour. The assailants sprayed machine gun fire, then fled, leaving a drawing and map of the ambush. Witnesses say no more than three attackers. Authorities say clues and tactics link to militants behind earlier 1973 and 1975 killings, with 10 executed for those deaths and 17 terrorists killed in three shootouts this year.
