As some 4,500 rock music fans roared in the Rutgers Athletic Center, Performers Paul Simon, Melissa Manchester and the Not Ready for Prime Time Players helped raise money for former New York Knicks Basketball Star Bill Bradley in his uphill fight to unseat four-term Republican Senator Clifford Case.

He persuaded Senate Republicans to support Carter's proposal on plane sales to the Middle East, and outraged the powerful Jewish lobby. Last week, smarting from the blows he received over the plane deal, Howard dropped in at the White House for a chat...
