...Wednesday night, the featured speaker is Edward Kennedy, who may place Mondale's name in nomination. The Massachusetts Senator is an inconsistent orator, but he can soar when the spirit moves him. Indeed, one of Mondale's minor problems is that his own acceptance speech Thursday night might sound a bit tame after the performances of Cuomo, Jackson and Kennedy. Mondale may ask a woman to introduce him, especially if he has chosen a male running mate and needs a show of solidarity from the women who will constitute slightly fewer than half of all the convention delegates...
...been in fine fettle, rousing partisan audiences in New Jersey, West Virginia and New Mexico. He seemed somehow to be thriving on the hectic pace and its near sleepless nights.

Consequently, we often feel as we are watching a scene for a second time...
...sturdy values of familial love, courage and patriotism that Saroyan so sentimentally celebrated. Just as MacDermot's 1967 Hair resonated in the era of tribal-love rock, so does The Human Comedy take wing on today's prevailing conservative winds. With some reworking, it could even soar...
