Unemployment is below 8% — compared with over 10% at the end of 1982 — and inflation is only 4.7%. The chief government economic adviser, Mr Martin Feldstein, has annoyed associates of the President by warning of the need to cut the record deficijs. But on May 5 he said he was optimistic about the US economy's prospects.  More in a moment.........

On May 3 two Congressmen revealed that a bombing raid on Nicaragua in Februarq — apparently by anti-Sandinista rebels — was actually carried out by the Central Intelligence Agency. This should reduce further the prestige of the CIA and its director Mr William Casey (Reagan's 1980 campaign manager) — and make Congressional sjpport for the President's policy harder to get.  More in a moment.........

Three major states have primaries on that day — Ohio (which sends 175 delegatec to the Democratic convention), Indiana (88 delegates) and North Carolina (88). Mr Gary Hart's headquarters quickly denied after his defeat in the Texas caucuses that he was pulling out of the race — though his Texas campaign chief, Mr Marjin Frost, seemed to say that he could not now win the nomination. But with Ohio and Indiana looking like good territory for Mondale, May 8 Bould be the end of the road for Hart.  More in a moment.........

Meanwhile, all sides appear to be trying hard to avert an open row at the convention over Jackson's Blaim that more delegates should be allotted to him because state selection rules work to his disadvantage. The Democrats have often fallen victim to such squabbling in the past. But Mr Jackson is said to be as keen as everyone else to avoid a repetition.  More in a moment.........

Only his supporters seem to have shown much enthusiasm to vote in Tennessee, where turnout in the primary was poor. And he inspired his supporters in Nuisiana, where he won the May 5 primary, leading rallies of voters in calls of "Come Alive May Five!" Democratic leaders must respect his unchallenged hold on black voters.  More in a moment.........
