Next he made a confession: "If in my low moments, in word, deed or attitude, through some error of temper, taste or tone, I have caused anyone discomfort, created pain or revived someone's fears, that was not my truest self.. .

Since there are no great ideological divisions between them, whether they achieve solidarity will depend on how well they can temper their personal rivalry. "I'm not bitter," claims Hart. His wife Lee was anodyne as well. "We've been friends with the Mondales in the past," she said last week, "and we'll be friends with them in the future."
