Ferraro came close to the mark when she spoke of "a sense of new possibilities and pride." A generation ago, for a fifth-grade girl to dream of becoming President was barely thinkable, but last week that was certified as one of the post-Ferraro "new possibilities." As Dr. Carol Nadelson, the Incoming President of the American Psychiatric Association, pointed out, male children will learn the new rules too. "A fifth-grade boy," she says, "also has a view of a woman as being in a kind of role. This change expands his view of women...
...most famous architecture in North Beach belongs to the Condor Club's Carol Doda, who began baring it 20 years ago just before the 1964 Republican National Convention in San Francisco, and will provide affirmative action for the Democrats four times a night next week. It is not an anniversary that many aging strippers would want to make a point of celebrating, but Doda says coyly, "I agree with Einstein, who said time is kind of a relative thing." Perhaps, and as long as the famous silicon implants that swelled her bustline to 44 inches remain a permanent thing...

"I'm not saying it's easy," he announced at the outset, "but it's attainable. I'm ready to roll." He won the 100-meter dash in 10.06 with his familiar finishing crescendo, over Football Players Sam Graddy of Tennessee and Ron Brown, soon of the Los Angeles Rams...
...have a good time and make the Olympics." Tonie Campbell, who followed Foster in the 110-meter hurdles, exclaimed, "Being an Olympian is better than landing on the moon!" Al and Jackie Joyner, a triple jumper and heptathlete, went in as a family entry. Carol Lewis was hoping to make it two brother-and-sister teams in the long jump. For the Lewis family, the wind on the Coliseum floor was the only ill omen. "If there were flags out there on the runway," Carl said, "they'd all be blowing a different direction. It will be real hard...
