Reagan's efforts to do so again were boosted, then apparently set back, by Vice President George Bush last week. In a televised debate in Philadelphia Thursday night with Mondale's running mate, Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro, Bush presented the Administration's case more ably than Reagan had four nights earlier. Indeed, though Ferraro also argued impressively, most analysts gave Bush a slight edge (see following story).

...creating a lost half may account for the extraordinarily close relationship between some mothers and sons, but it is not without dangers. As the boy matures and is shaped by the woman's sensibilities, he may emerge as his mother's perfect man, her emotional and intellectual mate. Says Klein: "The mother may have to acknowledge that her son, not her husband, is the man she would have liked to marry...
