Three o'clock the following afternoon brings the real test. Shut out the sound of your room-mate's typewriter and listen again. John Klemmer's jazz sounds even better the second time around. Like George Harrison's song, "Way back in time someone said try some, I tried some. Now buy some. I bought some..."

A former member of the Federal Trade Commission, Liddy Dole is a poised beauty from North Carolina who manages to soften her husband's gunfighter image. "She's part of our Southern strategy," says Dole proudly. Similarly, Joan Mondale, the vivacious and savvy wife of Senator Walter Mondale, is brightening the Democratic ticket, although she got off to a shocking start.
