...catch. They still assume the nominee will be Mondale, and are well prepared for a campaign against him. They will assail him as an oldfashioned, free-spending, solve-every-problem-with-a-new-Government-program liberal, and as the Vice President in the highly unpopular Carter Administration to boot. But just suppose Hart wins? The Republicans have not even begun to figure out what his vulnerabilities might be and how they might attack him. One top White House aide was asking reporters last week, in tones of genuine curiosity: "What does this guy really stand for? Is he more...
...part of the next season she competed wearing a specially built high ski boot to support the bad leg. Both her father, a psychologist, and her mother teach skiing part time, and she has always skied, but at Garfield High School in Seattle she was also an M.V.P. for two years in soccer and basketball. Her bubbly nature is infectious; Cooper said later, "I was behind her in the starting area, and I heard her saying to herself, 'O.K., Deb, just have a good time, have a good time, have the run of your life.'

I will only observe that (1) the number of official languages at the UN is increasing rather than remaining constant or decreasing, as would be the case if there were a real and visible tendency toward the universal acceptance of English; and (2) it is altogether understandable and fitting that English not be elected...
...travel plans. Passing through Madrid on a band tour in the spring of 1980, Sax Player Paquito D'Rivera, Cuban born and Cuban bred, was at the airport, bag packed as usual for another gig. Inside his luggage, however, was a carefully weighted assortment of stones, an army boot and a piece of a baseball bat. By the time the bag was stashed on the plane, D'Rivera was on his way into Madrid, planning his route to the American embassy. Quite a nice piece of amateur cold warring, all things considered. New World, Third World, it makes...
