When Geraldine Ferraro was picked as Walter Mondale's running mate, Jeane Kirkpatrick, U.S. representative to the United Nations, praised the choice as "just marvelous." A decade earlier, as a political science professor at Georgetown University, Kirkpatrick wrote a pathbreaking study of gender and power in America (Political Woman, Basic Books). At a meeting with TIME editors last week in Dallas, Kirkpatrick offered an intriguing assessment of the Ferraro controversy and the future of women in American politics...

Said Reagan: "[The U.S.] rejects any interpretation of the Yalta agreement that suggests American consent for the division of Europe into spheres of influence." Secretary of State George Shultz carried the same message...
...There is no hit list," Rowny kept asserting. But in March it came to light that Rowny had indeed given a private memorandum to Kenneth Adelman, the young conservative deputy to U.N. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick, whom National Security Adviser Clark had selected to replace Rostow as director of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. The document criticized various individuals, including Rowny's principal deputy, James Goodby, who was declared suspect on grounds of being too eager for an agreement. (Goodby subsequently left the START delegation and now heads the American negotiating team at the Conference on Disarmament in Europe...
