Adding to Ferraro's disarray was the reappearance of another old controversy: the illegal funding of her first congressional election campaign in 1978. Though campaign loans are limited to $1,000 per individual, Ferraro's election committee was bankrolled by loans totaling $134,000 from Zaccaro and their three children...

In a letter last year to the Washington Post, she clarified the matter, sort of: "I just wanted to let you know that I am a married Ms. I am Mrs. John A.
