...about $12.5 million, and federal law permits him to use only $7.7 million more before the convention. Finance Chairman Timothy Finchem insists that will be enough to stage an effective drive through the late primaries and caucuses, but in Mondale's words, his campaign is "no longer the Cadillac operation." The paid staff operating out of Mondale's Washington headquarters was slashed from a peak of 175 before last week to about 100, and is supposed to be reduced further...

...effort to broaden its market and appeal to younger buyers, Cadillac launched the subcompact Cimarron in 1981. More like a Chevrolet than a Cadillac, the $13,000 vehicle has failed to excite luxury-car buyers. Now General Motors is turning to a leading Italian car stylist in hopes of developing a sporty new Cadillac that may fit in better with the division's sumptuous line-up of Fleetwoods, Coupe DeVilles and Eldorados (sticker prices: up to $35,000).

He is Theodor Geisel, better known by his flowing pseudonymous signature Dr. Seuss. He celebrated turning 80 last week by turning out his 42nd children's story, The Butter Battle Book (Random House; 48 pages; $6.95). An arms-race "preachment," as he calls it, the tale features no grinches, just a confrontational competition between average, everyday Yooks and Zooks who are suspicious of each other because the former prefer eating bread with...
