The two candidates who best fit that strategy, in the minds of professional politicians, are both Senators: Minnesota's Walter Mondale, 48, and Idaho's Frank Church, 51. Mondale, a cool, skillful legislator and campaigner, would provide Carter wide bridges to labor and liberals, where the Georgian is still uneasily feeling his way.

Readers of Evan Connell's The Connoisseur already know Karl Muhlbach, the middle-aged insurance executive and widower who developed a quiet obsession with pre-Columbian art. An innately cool eye for authenticity got him started. Muhlbach's sudden desire to possess statuary caused him embarrassment. In Double Honeymoon, Muhlbach again decides to take a risk within limits. This time it is a brief fling with a beautiful young girl every bit as exotic and cracked as a piece of pre-Columbian pottery...
