...Hart claims are "tainted" by support from political-action committees. Mondale also snared the endorsement of Massachusetts Senator Edward Kennedy. But the delicacy of Mondale's peacemaking task was illustrated by the machinations last week over the party platform. Of the 15 members of the drafting committee, a bare majority-eight-were Mondale supporters. They dutifully obeyed the commands of a rumpled, chain-smoking Mondale operative, Paul Tully, who hovered about the drafting table, flashing signals like a base coach.

The image has become one of our era's most indelible, and the events that sprang from it -Jones' the People's suicide-murder Temple of in 913 Guyana members in of 1978-still cry out for explanation. Jones town Express, which premiered last week at Providence's Trinity Square Repertory Theater, flounders somewhat as it butts against the incomprehensibility of the tragedy...
