...seem genuinely determined to hear each other out. Although Taiwan, as ever, remains a problem, other, less volatile matters are now seen as the basis for building better relations. A decade ago, President Nixon's grandly symbolic visit to China presaged a new era. In 1979, under President Carter, the two countries established formal diplomatic ties. Shortly afterward, in January of 1980, Defense Secretary Harold Brown went to China with word that the U.S. was willing to export to Peking items of high technology, though not weapons. The Chinese were eager to buy and later presented the U.S. with...
...votes of their followers, the endorsements will certainly mean more volunteers and telephone banks for the Mondale campaign, not to mention the ballots of many N.E.A. and AFL-CIO officials who will be delegates in San Francisco. Three years ago the N.E.A. alone supplied about 15% of Jimmy Carter's delegate total...
Mondale has some advantages that previous front runners did not enjoy. In 1984 there will be no opportunity for a little-known candidate to build momentum gradually, as George McGovern did in 1972 and Jimmy Carter did in 1976.

Those strengths are so formidable, in fact, that it will be difficult for Glenn to score a knockout, even if he wins the early...

Pittsburgh Mayor Richard Caliguiri is grateful for federal cash that Mondale steered to the city when he was Jimmy Carter's Vice President, and Mondale has raised $50,000 for Wilson Goode, who is likely to be elected mayor of Philadelphia next month. Unlike some other black leaders, who are poised to support the Rev. Jesse Jackson if he declares his candidacy, Goode probably will be with Mondale...
...ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment; for the elderly and sick, to put a lid on hospital costs; for blacks and minorities, to crack down on civil rights violators. Seeking to increase his already strong support among Jewish leaders, Mondale had earlier asserted, contrary to his old boss Carter, that Israeli settlements in the West Bank are legal. Glenn tried to sound equally pro-Israel with a speech repudiating "evenhandedness" in the Middle East...
