After an understandable slump-common among U.S. swimmers and something of a national malaise, as Jimmy Carter might say-Meagher rallied grandly. Now she can contemplate three golds. "The Pan-Am Games are great, the Worlds are wonderful," she says. "But the Olympics are the Olympics. Everyone walking around the village smiling, speaking their own language but understanding all the same. This is just how I've always dreamed it would be, maybe even more cheerful...
Polls are being taken again, of course, and last week Ferraro got a new set of campaign advisers to interpret the results. Campaign Manager Sasso was an aide to Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis; Anne Wexler, a White House advisor to Jimmy Carter, will be Ferraro's senior political counselor.

Even the delegates who cheered Mondale most ardently at Moscone Center would admit that, whatever his strengths, he is not entirely the candidate of their dreams. But who would be? Jimmy Carter? George McGovern? Lyndon Johnson? John Kennedy? There may be something in the last. The Democrats' model of the perfect candidate, a Platonic form buried somewhere in the subconscious of the party, may indeed be John Kennedy, the slain prince. Gary Hart seemed to think as much during the campaign...
