Another memory from the 1977 mayoral race had the candidate and me pacing the hall outside a Midtown hotel suite where Vice President Walter Mondale, who was scheduled to campaign with Mr. Koch, had apparently overslept, or decided to sleep in. (I'd been summoned to take the Vice President's luggage back to the airport and Air Force Two.) Whatever it was, Koch took the mix-up stoically.
If desktop computers and terminals proliferate in hotel rooms and other locales, Dulaney thinks users could more easily carry personal data files and applications around in tiny memory cards that just plug into any available desktop system.
