...part, has been blasting Hart and Mondale equally for supporting the "supplyside economics" and "gunboat diplomacy" of President Reagan. He was swinging wildly and becoming increasingly moody and erratic as he tried to transform his flailing political crusade into a one-man peace movement. He has fired off a telegram to Syrian President Hafez Assad demanding the release of two Israeli diplomats, and proclaimed that he would venture to Nicaragua, Cuba and Africa. In a most unseemly move last week, he traveled to Mexico to attack U.S. "arrogance" toward Central America...

...therefore do not know about the pneu, it was a letter on gray paper that whizzed through a 269-mile network of pneumatic tubes and then was delivered by a mailman on a bicycle. Faster than an ordinary letter (it took about two hours) but cheaper ($1.80) than a telegram, the pneu provided a valuable service at the moveable feast of the Left Bank, where very few hotel rooms had private telephones. By the pneu, you learned of a job found, a crisis solved, a date confirmed-or broken. "Can't make dinner tonight. How about Wednesday?" That kind...
