Mondale did win solidly in North Carolina (36% to Gary Hart's 30% and Jesse Jackson's 25%) and Maryland (43% to Jackson's 27% and Hart's 25%). But Hart came back from the brink to upset Mondale twice, in the key Midwestern states of Ohio (42% to 40%) and Indiana (42% to 41%).

Friends expected Bond to announce his retirement this year. But on April 26 tragedy struck: an aircraft Bond was flying over the sprawling...
...underscore their concern about the election results, the Democratic leaders of the House of Representatives decided last week to postpone consideration of $62 million in proposed emergency military assistance to El Salvador until after the balloting.
