...voters and some party leaders, the succession of interviews seems less a display of thoughtful leadership than, to use Jackson's words, "a p.r. parade." The charge is that Mondale has been too obviously wooing party blocs: women (Ferraro, Collins and San Francisco Mayor Dianne Feinstein); blacks (Mayors Thomas Bradley of Los Angeles and Wilson Goode of Philadelphia); Hispanics (Cisneros). Senator Lloyd Bentsen of Texas was the lone white male...

A female running mate (more probably...

Bradley harrumphing, "The paramount mission and destiny of women are to fulfill the noble and benign offices of wife and mother. This is the law of the Creator." The law of the land has changed some in the 111 years since, and last week a Supreme Court that includes the first female Justice endorsed the use of a new weapon by women seeking full equality in the legal profession...
