...gather for the Democratic National Convention, the 5,000 delegates and alternates-as well as roughly 15,000 party workers, families, journalists and hangers-on-may have a considerably less magical view of New York. For one thing, most are taking in the city from the scruffy perspective of Madison Square Garden's environs, and the first impression will not be good. It is a mean and somewhat scrofulous West Side neighborhood, not far from the old Hell's Kitchen. Skells, panhandlers and a brigade of whores are working the streets, trying to avoid the 1,200 uniformed...
Every summer the New York art scene shuts tight, like an irritated clam. The artists vanish to East Hampton, Brooklyn or Bogotá; many of the commercial galleries, both uptown along the axes of Madison Avenue and 57th Street, and downtown in SoHo, do not reopen until September.

The potential mass left-wing in America is with the Democrats now--the huge number of working people with everyday worries about family and money and being taken advantage...
Even though he has the nomination knocked, Carter expects to visit as many state delegations as he can to ensure their support. His aides are even planning the usual elaborate communications network to keep in touch with delegations as voting begins on the convention floor in Madison Square Garden. Press Secretary Jody Powell laughingly explained: "This is what everybody traditionally does at conventions-so we want...
