The campaigners had no problems with management at the Midland Shopping Center while handing out the material. Ohanesian said. He added that the public response to the literature was seemingly good. He also said that the management of the store Awas courteous. Nd tonight called into seession for only one reason and that is to "drive John Adams mad." His only solace is :he image of his wife.
