- <p> FRITZ IS IN THE WINGS YET AGAIN. Walter Mondale never
- enjoyed running for office, but he built a great career around
- being tapped on the shoulder. Twice since leaving the vice
- presidency he has balked at pleas from Minnesota Democrats to
- run for the Senate, but his time may have come again. Next
- month the Senate ethics committee will hear a torrent of
- accusations against Republican David Durenberger, including a
- charge that he accepted $100,000 in outside income through a
- dubious book deal. Word is that he faces expulsion if he doesn't
- resign. Democratic Governor Rudy Perpich would appoint a
- replacement, and Mondale is letting it be known that he would
- like to return his patented way: by being asked.
