Among Democrats alone, Mondale leads Glenn, 29% to 25%, but Glenn has a nine-point advantage among independents, who in some states can vote in either party's primaries. Mondale's greatest strength is in the Northeast, where he tops Glenn by 35% to 24%; he trails the former astronaut in the Midwest and South. Mondale is the clear choice of blacks and other minorities, with 32% support, easily beating out Glenn with 12%, and even Jesse Jackson, who currently claims only 23% of that constituency...

The seamen were aboard a seven-ship U.S. task force that was systematically sweeping a 350-sq.-mi. area of the cold, choppy international waters slightly more than twelve miles from the Soviet Union's Moneron Island and 100 miles northeast of Japan. Hard by the U.S. ships-and sometimes directly under their bows-was a fleet of as many as 40 Soviet vessels, including a missile cruiser, oceanographic ships, trawlers and specialized salvage ships. Both sides were frantically searching for a prize that could unlock some of the mysteries...
Amin resumes: "It's been like this since August. I've grown used to it, but I miss my family. Yesterday 1 went to Bikfaya [the Gemayels' village in the mountain district northeast of Beirut]. It was another world. Did you know my house there had been shelled? My wife was in the room next to where the shell exploded. But of course I can't bring them here.
