...mile coast-to-coast blitz. The candidate had been in fine fettle, rousing partisan audiences in New Jersey, West Virginia and New Mexico. He seemed somehow to be thriving on the hectic pace and its near sleepless nights. Finally confident that the elusive goal was at hand, the Minnesotan's staff broke out bottles and let spirits soar. The former Vice President gleefully awarded T shirts imprinted with I SURVIVED AIR MONDALE to those who had made the trip, and read a "wimp list" of correspondents who had begged off doing so. His aides led weary reporters in a stir...
...septuagenarian beams at the prospect of being on the ticket, and swats off suggestions that her age might be a handicap. "You could say the same thing about Ronald Reagan in 1980," she says.

Last month some 60 union volunteers kept eleven phone banks manned throughout the state, soliciting help for the Minnesotan. AFL-CIO Field Representative Charlie Stott estimates that 15,000 of the roughly 110,000 people expected to vote in New Hampshire will be members of the AFL-CIO. This kind of union activity can be duplicated in almost any state where Mondale needs the labor push. Glenn's aides said last...
