Says Hart Chairman John Emerson: "California is a place that has grown on the idea of opportunity and the future, and that's what Hart is all about." But that is not what the polls show. Mervin Field's California Poll in early May had Mondale ahead 41% to 39%; a later poll by Steven Teichner for television station KABC in Los Angeles showed Hart leading 29% to 27%, with a stunning 34% undecided.

Wolfgang Leppmann has written the kind of biography such cases require: a solid rather than brilliant account of the off-duty Rilke, who was an odd but resilient product of the late 19th century. Born in Prague in 1875, Rilke spent the first seven years wearing dresses and long golden curls to satisfy his mother, still mourning the death in infancy of her first child. Impersonating his dead sister was the last role anybody ever imposed upon Rilke. At the age of ten he entered a military academy near Vienna. "Seize your sword," he wrote in a schoolboy poem.
