...Ronald Reagan, the genial former actor who came to personify populist conservative appeal, it was the final week of his final campaign. As he coasted through a five-day, 15-city concluding tour, he touted the themes and exuded the comforting confidence that have served him so well on the political stage. For Walter Mondale, the protege of Hubert Humphrey who has nourished the flame of Democratic liberalism, it was also likely to be, for those who believe the polls, his last week stumping for the nation's highest office.

Among them: more than 50 on-air reporters and commentators headed by genial Anchorman Jim McKay, 1,500 engineers, and 250 drivers to move 902 cars, trucks and buses. "There are now so many people that I have to park three blocks away from the studio," complains a producer for Los Angeles' KABC-TV, which shares a parking lot with ABC's Olympians...
