Walter Mondale looks at the clouds above Phoenix, and they are silver. The day before, he had won his big victory in Pennsylvania. Now his life is back on track. His coat off, his shirt collar open to show the kind of white undershirt that Clark Gable never would have worn, the candidate talks in the darkened cabin of his chartered...
...hard business, constructive gossip and applied technology. Wolfe nixed a deluxe fur that was cut like a pullover sweater because "we have to consider those big bouffant Texas hairdos. You can't expect clients to have to drag their furs over them." A dyed gray beaver jacket, with collar, pockets and cuffs furrowed like a plowed field, is "ideal for Mrs. Bowing."

Mondale is not putting up much of a fight there, apparently conceding a sweep of New England to Hart. But the race could still be close: Connecticut has a large ethnic, blue-collar labor vote, and the Yumpies tend to be Republicans, who cannot cross over and vote in the Democratic primary. Hart's aides expect an upswing after New York, when the primaries become less bunched up. Says Adviser Pat Caddell: "We'll have more time to develop our message...
