...Jackson sulked and demanded more respect, and Walter Mondale for the most part remained holed up in his suburban bunker in North Oaks, Minn. This week the Democrats will try to shake off the ennui, as Mondale and Ferraro take off together on a five-city, four-day campaign swing, the first leg in a long and uphill march toward Election...
