...inside information about the Paris peace talks, then being conducted by the Johnson Administration. At the same time, Hersh claims, Kissinger was also offering to turn over damaging files on Nixon that had been compiled by the Rockefeller campaign staff, for whom Kissinger had worked, to Zbigniew Brzezinski, then Hubert Humphrey's foreign policy coordinator. Kissinger has written in his memoirs that he was approached by both campaigns for advice. But Hersh, quoting some former Nixon campaign officials, paints Kissinger as a double-dealing job seeker. Last week Kissinger angrily denied these specific charges as "a slimy...
...Mondale's support for Israel is unshakable. His mentor, Hubert Humphrey, always counseled that there were three groups he must never antagonize: Big Labor, blacks and Jews. Mondale has followed that advice with extraordinary stubbornness. "The Jewish connection is absolutely essential to this campaign," says one of Mondale's top strategists. "We watch it very carefully." Mondale is nourished by their financial support.

There Conservative Alain Carignon trounced Socialist Hubert Dubedout, who has managed a model city for 18 years; the margin was a jolting 54% to 43%. The Communists, who have four ministers in Mitterrand's government, fared no better, losing eight cities that they had previously governed, including perfume capital Grasse and auto-manufacturing center Poissy, while...
...fresh face. What he seems to have forgotten about 1976, however, is that Jimmy Carter, because of Watergate, could easily run on the morality issue, and that other prominent Democrats were not in the race--Wallace was perceived as too infirm, and the nation learned of the tragedy of Hubert Humphrey's cancer in his decision not to run. Sen. Bumpers has started to organize too late (yes, March 1983 is probably too late). Straus is an interesting and potentially attractive candidate--a Southerner and a prominent conservative within the party--but he would also be the first Jewish American...
