...Iowa, Media Strategist David Sawyer abruptly switched from a "video resume" of Glenn's accomplishments to direct, no-nonsense voter appeals. Said Sawyer: "Everyone agreed we had to do something dramatic." Six days before the primary, Glenn taped a five-minute address in the home of a Nashua, N.H., supporter, urging voters to display their Yankee independence. The unedited videotape was rushed to Boston's station WBZ by helicopter seven minutes before its scheduled broadcast time. The spot was expensive (about $25,000 in air time for eleven showings), but well received, according to viewers polled afterward. Apparently...
...road, Mondale stuck to his forceful tone. Standing in front of a group of Democratic activists last February in Nashua, N.H., he attacked Reagan as an uncaring leader. His voice strong, his hand chopping the air, he told of homeless people roaming the country for work, as many as 3,800 people in one city lining up for 80 jobs. "It's like something out of The Grapes of Wrath," he said. As he moved from town to town, his mastery of Government was palpable. He spoke of world leaders he had met, of knowing where the country...

In New Hampshire, where nearly a foot of snow fell in two days, the storms' dangers were taken seriously: firemen in Nashua (pop. 67,865) urged that the town's schoolchildren be conscripted for a day to shovel out buried hydrants...
...nominees do not know each other at all well. Apart from Bush's visit in 1977, they had met primarily on the dais at party functions and at the pre-primary debates. One was the now celebrated affair in Nashua, N.H., where Reagan invited four other candidates into what was supposed to be a one-on-one confrontation, and a thoroughly flustered Bush would not agree to a change in the rules to let them speak. The incident left an unfavorable impression of Bush not only on the New Hampshire voters but on Reagan. Says Nevada Senator Paul Laxalt: "Reagan...
