...organizations differ widely on both strategy and personnel. Frontrunner Walter F. Mondale-as well as Ohio Sen. John H. Glenn and Sen. Ernest F. Hollings-are surrounded by experienced party operatives, veterans of the last four Democratic campaigns. Others, like Colorado Sen. Gary W. Hart and Sen. Alan M.
