"After that," he says, "all I felt like doing was dancing and drinking all night-just like Mozart." In a daring, powerful performance, this boy with the map of White Water, Wis., stamped on his face soon convinces the viewer that he is the pagan saint of classical music...
...screened out rivals from an exclusive interview with Joan Mondale by having his crew and her aides form a human fence. Last week he was able to use more traditional tactics, prearranging talks with party elders like Senator Paul Laxalt of Nevada.

This constant readjustment enabled...
...were moved north by backpack and mule train up to the provincial capital of San Miguel. After a battle on May 6, Salvadoran government troops found Bulgarian-made ammunition and a North Vietnamese mortar sight that Gorman said "probably" arrived in the April 28 shipment. Then Gorman displayed a map discovered at a guerrilla campsite on May 25. The crude chart showed "safe routes" nearly identical to those that Gorman had earlier outlined...
