But at midweek, when his speeches began going flat, aides had to insert rest periods in his fatiguing schedule, and Mondale admitted defeat. Said he: "Nobody gets up earlier than Jimmy Carter...

...committees. It's an incredible story of a brilliant man who has stood up. There're a lot of brilliant men around--Nader, Galbraith, Gardner--but they didn't want to take the abuse. Stanley's been a brilliant thinker for industry--he invented the Reader's Digest insert of the flag decal that you can tear out and put on car windows. He has a brilliant, inventive and practical mind, with an ability to articulate brilliant ideas very simply...
