Hart now becoming challenger to Walter Mondale ? has been widely covered by the natonal news media, and the story probably delights them. With Hart's rise, he brings to the race the contest aspect it lacked when Mondale appeared to be running away with the nomination: a simple, dramatic, easy-to-tell story the media, especially television, love. "The ideal simple story is two people running against each other. It makes a nice little five-minute story on the news," said David Whiteman, a USC government and international studies professor who regularly teaches a course called "Politics and the Mass Media." pete es election rur Wednesday's 'linda Hall or ind 19 Senate *"W^ ^ ' T ;ch to become , in unopposed, .. ^JpT' ?
