Reagan seems to relish the coming duel with Mondale. At press conferences, the President, 73 and hard of hearing, sometimes appears inarticulate and unsure of the facts. But at last week's session he was feisty and sharp. Questioned about Carter's prediction that Reagan might try to duck a debate with Mondale, the President fairly jumped at the chance to mimic his devastating line from the 1980 debate with Carter.

This may be because every time Mondale was pronounced the front runner during the Democratic primaries, he promptly lost an election. With a lead, he was a lifeless and complacent campaigner.

"I just want real reactions," said Kaufman in explaining his comedy...
...stir Texans more than a brawl, whether between high school football teams, gamecocks, refinery workers or Democrats. Texas Democrats have more warring factions-from Big Oil to Boll Weevil to Prairie Populist-than just about any other political party west of Italy's Christian Democrats. Lone Star politicians relish their infighting so much that when State Representative Ben ("Jumbo") Atwell was asked a few years back if he was thinking of leaving the legislature, he responded, "What?
