Front Runner Mondale stands to benefit most from the new rules, which make it more difficult for a dark horse to score an early upset. His campaign is better organized than any of the others, and his coffers are brimming. Mondale is the only candidate given a chance of winning a two-thirds majority at the AFL-CIO meeting, which is required to get the group's endorsement. His stumping for Democratic candidates last year has ingratiated him with party officials, who get 22% of the seats at the convention...
...dressed in dark glasses, Levi's and running shoes, Lombino headed for the U.S. passport office on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue. Though he had been assured that there would be no problems, Lombino, now joined by Campione, nervously showed up an hour early to check out the area.

Stage 9 of the 20th Century-Fox studios in Los Angeles is dark. The backdrop of khaki-drab Korean hills and everything that might serve as inventory, booty or memento have disappeared. Gone are the tables, tubing, clamps and surgical gowns from O.R.; neither the blandly frazzled Lieut. Colonel Henry Blake (McLean Stevenson) nor the avuncular Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) will preside any more over that surgeons' battlefield. In the mess hall, the serving trays and cigarette packs are missing; Corporal Klinger (Jamie Farr), the drag queen of 4077, will never again ask Father Mulcahy (William Christopher...
