UNDERSTANDING MONDALE
THE PLACE IS JACKSON, Miss., and former Vice President Walter F. Mondale is here to deliver a speech from the front steps of the Mississippi Governors mansion. His performance is not unlike those he has given in 100 cities in 26 states between January and June of this year. A sprinkling of national press has come along to watch, and Mondale exhibits guarded ease. He is 55 years old and has no illusions about the process he must go through to win the Presidency. The reporters have come to examine his soft spots, and neither he nor they need to be told that the last two decades of Democratic Party history have been littered with the mistake-plagued wreckage of early front-runners.

THE RIGHT STUFF: FROM SPACE TO THE SCREEN
There were heroes in those days, some 25 years ago, when Americans still seemed to feel sure enough of themselves to believe in heroes. Like the dragon-slayers of myth, a few men went forth to meet the demons in the sky and do battle in behalf of all lesser mortals. They were acclaimed heroes because they seemed to embody the qualities most esteemed by Americans, rare qualities that were thought to define the best in the national character. These few men, test pilots and the early astronauts, were plain-spoken, rugged individualists who made no apologies for devotion to duty and country. They mastered difficult skills and, as much as anyone could, were masters of their fate. They were incredibly good at what they did and knew it, but had the grace not to flaunt it. And what they did, with risk-all bravery, brought tears of wonder and pride to the eyes of those who beheld their daring and accomplishment. The new movie, The Right Stuff, opening Friday at local theaters, is a nostalgic scrapbook of this past and an unabashed celebration of the men who are characterized as the last true American heroes. It is an old-fashioned adventure story.
