...middle of all this despondency, her dad ran for president. And it was in 1984, at the age of 24, that Eleanor first met Governor Clinton of Arkansas, who was helping the doomed Democratic candidate in any way he could. They struck up a friendship that, Mondale says, lasts to this day. Meantime, her work situation was still pretty dismal -- although the Mondale name now had added cachet, helping land her guest spots in "Dynasty" and "Three's Company." In the former, she played a TV anchor woman; in the latter, a medical intern who inspects John Ritter's rear...

Shortly after Glenn's historic flight in the Mercury capsule Friendship 7, his tiny spacecraft was sent on a world exhibition tour. Ghana was the first stop in Africa. I was there, and in three hot June days of 1962, 75,000 Africans were wowed by the most unusual thing they had ever seen and touched.

Last week...

...formal resignation (in the form of alcoholic hepatitis), he quit drinking and--though a ruin of a man, hardly able to take 10 steps without collapsing into a chair--blossomed forth with an extraordinary intellectual radiance and simplicity. He displayed as never before a splendid gift for conversation, for friendship (I knew him a little), for teaching (he was a professor for years at the University of South Carolina) and for fatherhood. It was in that last period--his once massive and muscular body shrunken, gasping for breath because of a fibrosis of the lungs--that James and Christopher Dickey...

...attraction isn't only that it's a person out there; it's the aloneness. The person is always alone; no matter if he really is alone or not. He is Columbus, Lindbergh and Glenn in his original three-orbit flight. After the Friendship 7 flight in 1962, Glenn said it for everyone: "Now we can get rid of some of that automatic equipment and let man take over...
