...notable exception is the group accompanying Jesse Jackson: ABC, NBC and CBS have consistently included blacks among the producers or reporters sent to cover him, as have the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Newsweek and TIME. Perhaps half of the journalists in the entourages are new to covering national campaigns. Says Bernard Weinraub, a veteran foreign correspondent for the New York Times: "It looked like something that I ought to try once, and now that I have, once seems like it may be the right number." But many an editor or pundit - a "big foot...
This policy has been vividly illustrated in the case of Drane Mathews, as reported in a recent Newsweek article. A student at the University of Maine at Orono, Matthews previously served in the Army where she earned a Good Conduct Medal, a certificate of achievement, and the Distinguished Soldier's Award. She returned to school and joined ROTC in order to gain the skills necessary for further advancement in the Army.

Individual ratings on issues--the economy, defense, foreign policy--showed similar variations. The Democrats have treated all of these poll results as potential election year gold. Not surprisingly, the White House and the Republican Party are not at all happy about these data, but the leadership seems wary and ultimately...
This leads to the "fairness" issue, and interestingly enough, the same Newsweek poll which showed an overall gap showed that economic and social policies, along with defense and foreign policy, have more importance for women than ERA and other "women's" issues. Reagan's well-known ideological desire for less government has produced the well-documented attack on a whole variety of social assistance programs. One of the great tragedies of the last 20 years is that women have increasingly borne a disproportionate share of this hardship...
