...predestined conclusion into a less predictable venture already assured a place in history, whatever its outcome. The odds are firmly against Geraldine Ferraro, 48, actually becoming the first woman to stand next in line of succession to the White House. Ronald Reagan will be a formidable campaign foe. But the point was, no one could be sure; a thousand calculations?the effect of a woman national candidate on the female vote, the male vote, the South, the West, urban blue-collar workers, Black and Hispanic voters?have to be done for the very first time.

Mondale sweeping West Virginia. The news New Jersey was dazzling. A hefty 107 delegates were the prize, and Mondale, capitalizing on the state's district election system, seemed to be taking an amazing of them to Hart's none and Jesse Jackson's four. The voting booths had closed in California, with its enticing of 306 delegates, but early exit polls indicated a tight race. Arriving at a party...

...seemed to lose its way. Early in the decade Pusey had made statements lauding what he saw as a new burst of student activism, but he could hardly have expected the upheavals that the next few years would bring. Where Harvard's public reputation during the '50s as a foe of McCarthy produced a feeling of collective purpose, in the '60s groups within the University turned on each other.
