Both candidates are employing image makers-Rhodes has Bailey, Deardourff and Celeste, David Garth-and both are spending more than half of their $1.5 million budgets on TV. While Rhodes has only two paid campaign aides, Celeste has built a professional organization throughout usually Republican southern Ohio and is counting on disaffection with Rhodes among normally Democratic urban voters in northern Ohio. Last week a statewide poll by the Akron Beacon Journal showed Celeste moving ahead by four percentage points-quite a turnabout from polls that once gave Rhodes a 20-point lead. But Rhodes professes to be unconcerned. Said...
...regular dailies would have spurned. But for New Yorkers used to the Daily News's outrageously witty headlines, the Times's impeccably orotund dispatches from Ouagadougou and Timbuktu and the Post's wonderfully inaccurate gossip, there is an aching void. "They're like children," says Political Consultant David Garth of the three struck dailies. "You don't know how much you love them until they leave home...

Four years ago, Garth Hudson's wailing organ played a more central role in The Last Waltz. Robertson's lead guitar dominates most of the songs. Either way, the sound is worth the price of admission...
...Often Garth takes on customers whose causes seem hopeless and turns down apparent front runners. "We only accept people we like," says the old Adlai fan, who still prefers liberal Democrats but occasionally works for "progressive" Republicans. Four years ago, Hugh Carey, then a Brooklyn Congressman, seemed a poor bet-he was virtually unknown. Last year Koch looked like an even worse prospect. But in each case Garth's analysis of polls showed that more prominent rivals had relatively little support. "That's a situation with a vacuum," says Garth. "You can move in with the right candidate...
