...investigative reporter, who has written twelve books of non-fiction (The Superlawyers, Korea), suggests that Wilson's character was formed by a harsh, cold father and a childhood spent on the rough edge of poverty in Idaho. Young Wilson showed a flair for manipulating other people, without undue regard for affection or morality; this trait aided his work as an operative for the CIA and the Office of Naval Intelligence. By the mid-1970s, Wilson had achieved a shadowy prominence in Washington. As Goulden tells it, scores of Government officials, Congressmen and Pentagon officers were mesmerized...

Mondale's aides regard Ferraro, despite her liberalism and Queens accent, as a woman for all regions who can appeal to every type of voter. Blue-collar, urban ethnic voters, especially Roman Catholics, will listen to her, they think, because she is one of them: the Catholic daughter of an Italian immigrant who represents a conservative blue-collar district. Well-educated suburbanites may be attracted to her as a symbol of new ideas and new departures in politics, even though her voting record in the House followed a rather traditional liberal Democratic line.
