...Mondale had selected any one of several other vice-presidential candidates, whether a woman or man, TIME would have been prepared to make a thorough presentation of that choice to its readers. (The other figure on TIME's June cover was San Francisco Mayor Dianne Feinstein, whom Mondale considered up to the last moment.) Still, we are pleased not only to have given the idea of a woman vice-presidential candidate national and international attention but to have helped zero in on Walter Mondale's eventual choice...
Thus began the much criticized parade of possible Veep candidates to North Oaks, Minn., for interviews with Mondale. Quite deliberately, a Black mayor, Los Angeles' Tom Bradley, was invited first. A woman, San Francisco Mayor Dianne Feinstein, soon followed. She quickly impressed the Mondale aides with her warmth, polish and preparation.

Last year Mayor Dianne Feinstein presided over a good-luck staff lunch at one of its dining room tables just before her triumph over a recall attempt. She received a standing ovation from the house as she entered...
...Goode, who followed Los Angeles' Tom Bradley as the second black chief executive of a major city to receive a look over invitation. This week Mondale is scheduled to talk to New York Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro and Kentucky Governor Martha Layne Collins; they join San Francisco Mayor Dianne Feinstein, who favorably impressed Mondale during her session, as women contenders. Also due in North Oaks is San Antonio Mayor Henry Cisneros, the first Hispanic to be considered. Despite the lengthening parade of applicants, at least one experienced pol was convinced that Mondale's vice-presidential field was quickly narrowing...
