...some voters. How much of that was attributable to her individual political style and how much solely to the fact of her sex will be a key political question in the months ahead. But in any case, says Campaign Manager John Sasso, some early estimates of Ferraro's ballot-box appeal were simply unrealistic. "Expectations were very high, maybe too high," he says. "Some people expected she would singlehandedly sweep up all the ethnics, all the women. My god, that's three-quarters of the country...

He had a reputation as a 20th century music specialist, a distinction that has little appeal at the American box office. By contrast, the Cleveland Orchestra is one of the proudest in the land.

She said that people--both readers and reporters--criticize the government in order to provide help and benefit the people. For example, during a serious vegetable shortage in Shanghai in 1982, reporters wrote articles questioning the government's competence and prompting officials to find out who was responsible for vegetable production...
