Hart scores major upset in New Hampshire primary
By Catalina Camia
Assistant City Editor
Sen. Gary Hart scored a major upset Tuesday in the pivotal New Hampshire presidential primary, earning 41 percent of the vote, with favorite Walter Mondale earning 28 percent.
Hart earned 35,943 votes, compared to Mondale's 24,854 votes.
The word from the "Hart for President" camps on the East Coast is that the young Colorado senator is dispelling any notion that the race for the Democratic nomination is a one-candidate race.
With the votes from 96 percent of the precincts counted, Ohio Sen. John Glenn was a distant third behind Hart and Mondale, with only 12 percent, or 10,696 votes.
George McGovern and Rev. Jesse Jackson were tied with 6 percent of the vote. Ernest Hollings received 4 percent, while California Sen. Alan Cranston got 2 percent, finishing just ahead of Reuben Askew who received 1 percent.
The mood in Cranston's campaign office in New Hampshire was grim, said Martin Cohn, New England press secretary, who painted a bleak picture of his office and his candidate's chances in the presidential race.
Cohn said he was "alone in this basement, typing a statement for the senator.
"This is a major statement about Cranston's candidacy," he said.
While Cohn would not specify what the tone or subject of the statement is, it is expected that Cranston will withdraw from the Democratic presidential race. Cranston scheduled a press conference for Wednesdav, 7:30 a.m. EST.
"Many people, including the front-runner, thought this campaign would be over tonight," Hart said to the Associated Press in Manchester, N.H. " I welcome everyone to New Hampshire and to the 'Hartland' of America."
Chris Connors, a student volunteer from Southeastern Massachusetts University, said the Hart campaign headquarters in Manchester is a mess.
"Everything is a mess after all the campaigning we've done in the state," he said. "We're ready to move on to Massachusetts for 'Super Tuesday.' "
Nine primaries will be held on Tuesday, March
13	in mostly southern states, said Joseph Cerrell, director of Cerrell Associates, an independent political consulting firm.
An NBC survey said Hart received most of his support from the under-25-year-old voters, while Mondale received half of his votes from retired people. The decisive union vote was split between the two candidates.
CBS News radio said Manchester, a heavily populated union dty and location of the primary, was won by Hart.
"The strong showing here means more money will come in," Connors said. "People will now be more apt to donate to the campaign."
Connors said Hart's victory can be attributed to the work and support of the college students in the state.
"Students from the eastern states have done a great deal of canvassing in New Hampshire," he said. "This is a people-oriented campaign, with maybe 50 percent of it person-to-person."
Cohn said he believes Hart was helped by his second-place showing in Iowa, and the organization of his campaign on the East Coast.
"His victory shows there is no dear-cut candidate in the Democratic party," he said. "It's very fluid right now."
Chris May, a volunteer from Washington, D.C. working with Connors said, there is "great satisfaction" in the Hart office now, and predicts all of the workers will be working twice as hard.
"The message about Hart got through to New’ Hampshire, and we hope it gets through to the nation," he said.
The next stop for the Hart campaign is Massachusetts, where Hart supporters are expected to use the momentum from this vidory in "Super Tuesday."
Tony Sutin, Masschussetts field organizer for the Hart campaign, said this victory is significant for Hart.
"People are exdted here," he said. "They want to contribute money and their time, and want more information about Hart."

Journalists’ views on nuclear age aired in panel discussion
By John Kirby
Qty Writer
Three speakers representing different forms of the media expressed contrasting viewpoints on the media's role in forming public opinion on the arms race in a panel discussion conducted Tuesday night entitled "The Role of Mass Media in the Nudear Age".
Sheena Paterson, associate editor of the Los Angeles Herald Examiner, was the moderator of the panel. Paterson said she has a deep appredation for the importance of nudear weapons and power, which she described as "the single biggest issue fadng people today."
Paterson said she believes censorship of the media often goes well beyond legitimate security requirements.
"The needs of national security have been used as a weapon by the government to muzzle the press."
Partidpating on the discussion were Robert Scheer, national reporter for the Los Angeles Times, Nicholas Meyer, director of the television movie The Day After, and Everett Rogers, professor of international communication at Stanford University and a visiting professor of this university's Annenberg School of Communications.
Meyer's comments were aimed at the role of the fictional media in shaping the public's views and raising the public's aw'areness of nudear arms.
When praising the progress of the anti-nudear campaign thus far, Meyer said public aw'areness of the nuclear issue is currently at its all-time peak.
Meyer said profit was still the most important motive in the production of films related to the subjed of nudear war.
"As long as nudear films make money they will continue to be made," he said.
However, Meyer said individuals within the film and television industry are beginning to go against the profit motive because of personal beliefs.
He said ABC was ready to lose up to $7 million in order to express the ideas illustrated in The Day After.
In Meyer's view, this concern by a major corporation shows the seriousness of the current world situation.
"When big business (ABC) starts worrying about nudear war, you'd better believe it's time to worry," he said.
In his closing remarks, Meyer assailed both television journalists

Superstar Michael Jackson made music history Tuesday by winning eight Grammys at the annual awards show in the Shine Auditorium.
Jackson sweeps Grammys
Sets new record by winning 8 of 12 music awards at Shrine Auditorium

Entertainment Writer
Where there's smoke, there's fire, as Michael Jackson proved with a predictable, record-breaking sweep of eight Grammy awards during the 26th annual ceremony Tuesday at the Shrine Auditorium.
Jackson had earlier set a record for number of nominations (12 in 10 categories), and last night's new award record broke that of Paul Simon, who earned seven in 1970.
Besides winning the dimactic award for Record of the Year ("Beat It"), Jackson also picked up Grammys for best album (Thriller), male pop vocal performance (Thriller), male rock vocal performance ("Beat It"), male R&B vocal performance ("Billie Jean"), new rhythm and blues song ("Billie Jean"), recording for children (£.T. The Extraterrestrial), and producer (with Quincy Jones).
The 25-year-old singer lost out in only two of 10 categories. Sting of the Police took Song of the Year honors for "Every Breath You Take," and Herbie Hancock won the Best R&B Instrumental Performance with "Rockit."
Outside the Shrine, a crowd
of about 1,000 maintained a constant vigil for signs of the elusive star as portable stereos blasted "Beat It" and entrepen-eurs sold bootleg Jackson posters and T-shirts.
Inside, the atmosphere was not much less ecstatic when Jackson repeatedly claimed his trophies dressed in a glittery Sgt. Pepper-style suit and an in-penetrable pair of dark glasses. The singer drew girlish cheers from enthusiastic fans in the balcony when he removed his shades for a few seconds, after repeatedly announdng he was about to do so.
Backstage, Jackson posed for TV cameras and photographers as hundreds of flash bulbs going off in rapid succession created the illusion of a strobe light. Jackson declined to step before reporters for the traditional winner's press conference.
Androgyny was the name of the game at the ceremony. A hatless Boy George of Culture Club, which picked up Best New Artist honors, appeared by satellite from London with Joan Rivers, who told him, "You look like Brooke Shields on steroids."
Annie Lennox of Eurythmics performed in a short, black wig, sideburns and a suit, aiming for
a look she described backstage as "like Mick Jones of the Clash mixed up with the resurrected Presley." As she spoke to reporters, the cast from the Broadway production of La Cage aux Folles was bringing female impersonation to the Shrine stage.
How all this went over in the Midwest remains to be seen.
The telecast opened with Donna Summer singing her nominated hit, "She Works Hard for the Money," which featured the brief stage debut of USC basketball star Cheryl Miller doing a tricky dribble and pair of dunks during an instrumental break. In addition to the gold and red university uniform, Miller also wore a bumper sticker promoting the women's team on her back.
