...recognize." More predictably, a Mondale aide complained: "Hart knows that a talk about the old arrangements is taken by everybody as code for the AFL-CIO leadership. It's like waving a red flag in front of them." The two campaign chiefs - Henkel for Hart, Rob ert Beckel for Mondale- held private conversations in search of a truce...
...even knottier problem, however, was the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who has been alternately conciliatory and confrontational in both his private meetings and public statements. Jackson, who also met with Beckel last week, is annoyed that he has not had any private meetings with Mondale.
