  • Ferraro Dies; Was First Woman to Seek Vice Presidency for Major Party
    Ferraro dies; was first woman to seek vice presidency for major party BOSTON – Geraldine Ferraro, a lawyer and former congresswoman who in 1984 became the first woman to seek the vice presidency on a major political party ticket, died March 26 at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Ferraro was not only the first woman on a major party’s presidential ticket, she was the first Catholic Democrat to be nominated after abortion became a significant issue in political campaigns. A family representative said she had been suffering from a type of blood cancer known as multiple myeloma, which was first diagnosed in 1998. She was 75 years old. The Associated Press reported that a funeral Mass for Ferraro was to be celebrated March 31 at the Church of St. Vincent Ferrer in Manhattan. AP said attendance at the funeral would be limited to friends and family and that no press coverage would be permitted. Ferraro is survived by her husband of 51 years, John Zaccaro, and her children, Donna, John Jr. and Laura. From the first day of her campaign for vice president – as running mate of former Vice President Walter Mondale of Minnesota – Ferraro was challenged about how she could be a “good Catholic” and vote as she did in support of legal abortion. Throughout the campaign, Ferraro was met by pro-life protesters and was regularly challenged for saying that, although she accepted church teaching that abortion is wrong, a range of political positions on the topic could be acceptable. In accepting the nomination for vice president July 19, 1984, at the Democratic National Convention in San Francisco, Ferraro stressed family, fairness and hard work.

With a female vice president in office, has media gender-bias left the presidential campaign trail? The short answer is no, and the reason why is deep rooted. Abstract An examination of treatment in the media of female vice presidential candidates—Geraldine Ferraro (1984), Sarah Palin (2008) and Kamala Harris (2020)—surfaces a trend of gender bias perpetuated by subtly sexist language in all three campaigns.

  • Ethnic and Racial Identity in Italian-American Postwar Political Experience, 1945-2008
    Saggi From William C. Celentano to Barack Obama: Ethnic and Racial Identity in Italian-American Postwar Political Experience, 1945-2008 Stefano Luconi Università degli Studi di Roma «Tor Vergata» According to conventional wisdom, political science has generally overlooked an in-depth examination of Italian-American voting behavior and politics (Martellone, 1991; Cappelli, 2008). This contention, however, hardly depicts the state of the art in the 1960s. After the number of Italian-Americans serv- ing in the U.S. House of Representatives and state legislatures in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island had roughly doubled during the previous decade, this ethnic minority seemed a ris- ing political group and consequently captured scholarly attention (Lubell, 1965, pp. 76-77). In particular, in the 1960s academicians drew upon the electoral history and events involving the Little Italy in the city of New Haven, Con- necticut, as a microcosm for case studies to analyze ethnic politics. Specifically, at the beginning of that decade, in a path-breaking research on the mechanics of municipal politics, Who Governs?, Robert A. Dahl (1961) used the example of Italian-American William C. Celentano’s 1945 rise to the mayoralty in New Haven in order to elaborate an influential three-stage theory for the political assimilation of immigrant groups in the United States. The local Republican organization slated Celentano, an undertaker by pro- fession, to lure his fellow ethnics into breaking away from the Irish-dominated Democratic Party. Defeated in 1939 and bypassed in the choice of candidates for the duration of World War II because his Italian descent made him a liability while his ancestral country was fighting against the United States, Celentano received again the Republican nomination in 1945 and, this time, managed to © Centro Altreitalie, Globus et Locus 7 Altreitalie gennaio-dicembre 2009 win election to City Hall.

  • Vetiver System Applications Technical Reference Manual
    VETIVER SYSTEM APPLICATIONS Technical Reference Manual Paul Truong, Tran Tan Van and Elise Pinners INTERNATIONAL VETIVER SYSTEM: Proven and Green Environmental Solutions This manual is dedicated in the memory of Diti Hengchaovanich, geotechnical engineer, of Thailand. He pioneered the use of Vetiver on large scales for highway stabilization and for many years was a very valuable contributor to TVNI. Diti will be remembered with gratefulness by many. 1 PREFACE THE VETIVER SYSTEM PROVEN & 'GREEN' ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS Few existing plants have the unique attributes of multiple uses, environmentally friendly, effective and simple to use as Vetiver grass. Few existing plants that have been known and used quietly over centuries, have suddenly been promoted and widely used world wide in the last 20 years as has Vetiver grass. And fewer plants still have been idolized as Miracle Grass, Wonder Grass with capacity to create a living wall, a living filter strip and “live nail” reinforcement. The Vetiver System (VS) is dependent on the use of a very unique tropical plant, Vetiver grass – Vetiveria zizanioides, recently reclassified as Chrysopogon zizanioides. The plant can be grown over a very wide range of climatic and soil conditions, and if planted correctly can be used virtually anywhere under tropical, semi-tropical, and Mediterranean climates. It has characteristics that in totality are unique to a single species. When Vetiver grass is grown in the form of a narrow self-sustaining hedgerow it exhibits special characteristics that are essential to many of the different applications that comprise the Vetiver System. The species of Chrysopogon zizanioides, that is promoted in nearly 100 countries for VS applications originates in south India, is sterile, non invasive and has to be propagated by clump subdivision.

  • Analyzing New York Times Coverage of Geraldine Ferraro's
    “American women never again will be second-class citizens”: Analyzing New York Times coverage of Geraldine Ferraro’s 1984 vice-presidential bid Submitted by Tracy Everbach, Ph.D. University of North Texas Contact: [email protected], 214-995-8464 1 Abstract This qualitative, interpretive study sought to examine New York Times coverage of Geraldine Ferraro, the first female vice presidential candidate in the United States, during the 1984 presidential election. Employing previously established frames, the analysis found that The New York Times treated Ferraro as a viable vice presidential candidate. Some stories about Ferraro veered into Italian-American ethnic stereotypes when the angle focused on questions about her husband’s finances. Although the 1984 stories published by the Times overall showed promise that political women would move forward with equitable coverage to men, the study found that Ferraro’s bold prediction that “American women never again will be second-class citizens” did not hold true. Comparison with mainstream media coverage of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin 24 years later and of other candidates such as Hillary Clinton revealed that hegemonic masculinity in political coverage is firmly entrenched. In fact, Ferraro’s treatment by the Times in 1984 was more gender-equitable than more recent media coverage of female political candidates in the 21st century. 2 On July 12, 1984, U.S. Representative Geraldine Ferraro of New York, 49, became the first female vice presidential candidate on a major-party ticket in the United States when Democratic Senator Walter Mondale, 56, named her as his running mate. Another woman would not join a major-party ticket until 24 years later, when Republican Senator John McCain, 72, chose then-Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, 44, as his vice- presidential candidate.
