Primary Faceoffs Resume in Six States
President Ford nears the midway point in the GOP race while Democrat Jimmy Carter vies for a similar milestone as six states hold presidential primaries. Missouri Democrats vote for 54 delegates in district conventions. Carter expected to win at least 40 delegates, though none are bound. Turnout varies in Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, with late polls in the West. Nashville sees a surge in paper ballots for write-ins though no write-in campaign exists. California’s Edmund G Brown Jr. and Hubert Humphrey are notable Democrats not in the lead group.

Supreme Court allows price ads for prescription drugs
The Supreme Court ruled that pharmacists may advertise prescription drug prices, a move a consumer group says could lower costs. The decision rejects Virginia’s ban and notes ads apply to standardized drug prices, while professional services by physicians and lawyers differ. FTC studies estimate substantial savings if price advertising expands. An AP review found large price variation within cities lacking price ads.
