...exploit this caricature of an out-to-lunch President, Mondale will portray himself as "Mr. Competence," a hands-on executive who is familiar with the levers of power and how to pull them. Says Wisconsin Democratic Party Chairman Matthew Flynn: "Fritz is decent, safe and steady. People trust him to do the predictable thing. He won't tamper with Social Security or go to war." Mondale says he is eager to show his steadiness, and expose Reagan's tenuous grasp of the issues, in "several" TV debates...

It is to this end that would-be reformers must devote their time. Ray Flynn knows such problems exist. But he suffers from limited resources, and must deal with one of the poorest major cities in the country. Whites are not well off either, and Flynn has wirely couched his rhetoric in communal rather than divisive terms. He must step up efforts to bring black leaders like Mel King and City Councilor Bruce C. Bolling...
