Quotes
[on the passing of his 1984 running mate Geraldine Ferraro]: It wasn't just politics that was reset. Change can be seen everywhere in American Life. Everyday she was patronized in a way not experienced by her male counterparts, but she would not relent. She came back each day tougher and better.
