Mondale this week will turn visible again. He plans to make a four-day political swing through California, Kansas and Illinois. His schedule calls for at least half a dozen additional trips this fall and a steady stream of Democratic fund raisers in Washington. Ironically, as the Lance affair helped feed rumors of Mondale's falling star, the departure of Georgia's Lance makes Carter more reliant than ever on the man from Minnesota...
...buildings at Columbia University in 1968-prompting a battle with police that injured more than 200 protesters and triggered a student strike that paralyzed the campus for a month. He later took part in the "days of rage" demonstration in Chicago, in which several hundred radicals went on a four-day rampage. Then, rather than answer criminal charges stemming from both episodes, Mark Rudd went underground. For seven years his face peered stonily from WANTED posters across the country.

Last week representatives from 48 of the OAU'S 49 member nations gathered for their four-day annual exercise in disharmony at a spanking-new conference center in Libreville, the sleepy seaside capital of Gabon. Shortly after Host President Albert-Bernard ("Omar") Bongo pleaded for "a summit at which we talk about what unites us, not what divides us," Chad accused Libya of seizing 45,000 sq. mi. of Chadian territory. Ethiopia charged that it was the victim of a "coordinated conspiracy...
