Hart blundered badly last week in a speech at Springfield, Ill., by obliquely questioning Mondale's "personal integrity" and muttering about "an inordinate need for power . . . blind ambition . . . destructive assault."

At parties he felt ill at ease. The first signs of hypochondria seem to have appeared during his adolescence...
