Furthermore, Reagan will try to pin any economic woes on big-spending Democrats and the failed policies of the Carter-Mondale Administration. He has only to quote Gary Hart...

More predictably, a Mondale aide complained: "Hart knows that a talk about the old arrangements is taken by everybody as code for the AFL-CIO leadership. It's like waving a red flag in front of them." The two campaign chiefs - Henkel for Hart, Rob ert Beckel for Mondale- held private conversations in search...
