...only woman ever nominated for Vice President by a major political party, Geraldine Ferraro emerged from the shambles of the Democrats' 1984 defeat with her political fortunes damaged but by no means destroyed. Moreover, a New York Senate seat held by a Republican was coming up for grabs in 1986, offering the former Congresswoman a chance to get back to Washington. But last week Ferraro took herself out of the Senate contest and, at least temporarily, off the political stage. At a crowded press conference held in the Queens Borough Hall, where she had appeared last year with Running Mate...
...loosening trade restrictions last week in the third of TIME's Distinguished Speakers Program series. The forum was inaugurated by President Reagan in February 1984 at his alma mater, Eureka College in Eureka, Ill., and followed last December with an address by former Democratic Vice Presidential Nominee Geraldine Ferraro at the University of Wisconsin at Madison.

Democratic Vice-Presidential Candidate GERALDINE FERRARO at Wellesley College in Wellesley, Mass.: "When I applied to law school, a university official asked if I was 'serious' -- because, after all, I was taking a man's place. No professor could be caught dead today saying to a female student that she was taking the place of a man. First of all, that professor could be a woman. In fact, if she were at Wellesley, you can bet her department chair would be a woman. More important, the greatest achievement of the women's movement has been to transform our expectations. Today...
...acknowledged the news by noting, "The Holy Father is anxious that all bishops practice his teaching." Another apparent signal of the Pope's conservative views came when perhaps the most famous Roman Catholic woman in the U.S. suddenly became a Vatican unperson. Former Democratic Vice-Presidential Candidate Geraldine Ferraro, 49, who had some celebrated clashes with O'Connor over the abortion issue last year, had a ten- minute private audience with the Pope last week.
