Mondale's most influential backer may be San Antonio Mayor Henry Cisneros, Texas' numero uno Hispanic leader. Cisneros says that Mondale's "personal relationships" within the state's Mexican-American community, many dating back almost two decades, "engender a deep-seated loyalty that is hard to counter in a caucus environment." Because of rigorous voter-registration efforts, there may soon be almost 1 million Hispanics on the rolls, twice as many as in 1976. They will make up about a fifth of the voter turnout, and Mondale could win as many as three out of four...
LAST SUMMER Pizzeria Uno had a special promotional gimmick. If you could eat your way through their largest pizza--with everything on it--by yourself in 45 minutes, you didn't have to pay for it.

Said a spokesman: "I am sure if the situation is still bad for the U.S. side, it will take up this question, and we will have talks about it." Such nuances did not assuage the alarm at Uno's comment among U.S. automen. Said one: "What they seem to be doing is staking out their position for negotiations...
...require all cars, including the best-selling imports, to be made in large measure by American workers using U.S. parts. President Reagan has said he will not sign a local-content bill. The Administration has also delayed pressing for a fourth year of import restrictions. In the wake of Uno's unexpected declaration, however, the Administration may have to find a way to reopen the door to negotiations on autos quickly so that it can keep the protectionists at bay. One wedge may the issue of agricultural quotas. The U.S. trade representative's office announced last week that...
