...Hampshire is a less unionized state. But even there, the state AFL-CIO'S membership list of 37,000 is a fertile field for harvesting Mondale votes. 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.

Now come the Arizona Twins. In 48 of 52 written opinions this term, former Arizona Court of Appeals Judge Sandra Day O'Connor has sided with her Stanford Law School classmate, one-time Phoenix Lawyer William Rehnquist.
