...other liberal politicians in Washington, Mondale sends his children to private schools. In Mondale's case, all of the schools are integrated. Son Teddy, 18, is an avid dirt-track motorcycle racer. Eleanor, 16, owns a palomino quarter horse named Sunny, and together they have won an impressive array of ribbons at horse shows. William, 14, is into football, tennis, wrestling and lacrosse...
...named a successor, it might have been different. Harold Shaw, the new man at Hurok Concerts, is regarded as a sound businessman. His abilities as a starmaker in the Hurok tradition are less well known. Despite the recent depletion of its talent roster, Hurok Concerts still handles a respectable array of artists, including Van Cliburn, Sviatoslav Richter, Henryk Szeryng, Nathan Milstein, Janet Baker, Nicolai Gedda and Artur Rubinstein. One of the joys of the new Shaw-Hurok liaison, said Shaw last week, is that now Guitarist Bream and Mezzo Baker can give joint recitals in the U.S., as they have...
...subway straphangers in rush hour. The oval arena has considerably less floor space than, for example, the hall used at the Miami Beach Convention Center, and everyone is getting along with about one-quarter of the working area normally expected at a convention.

Long desks for the writing press flank the specially built 12-ft.-high podium. Each delegation chairman has a red "hotline" phone to talk with...
...rain contraptions are often so heavy and cumbersome that it is hard to see what advantage they offer over the oiled linen cape. Pieces of leather or waxed cotton are tightly stretched over a spokelike array of rattan or whalebone ribs; the ribs are attached by wires and hinges to a central rod so that the covering can be opened out or collapsed at will. It rarely works as planned. The ribs often lose elasticity when wet and crack when dried...
...Newport, R.I., in 18 days, beating his own record of 20½ days when he won the last race in 1972 in a 70-ft. ketch trimaran. To control the boat that Colas, 32, built at a cost of nearly $1.5 million, he has the help of an array of the latest electronic aids, but his plans for using a satellite navigational system were nixed by the race's sponsors, the London Observer and the Royal Western Sail Club. Like Colas's ship, the quadrennial race has grown monstrously since Sir Francis Chichester beat out four competitors...
