Mondale and Ferraro complement each other well on the stump, though the contrast in style can be jarring. Ferraro is breezy and colloquial, Mondale becalmed and formal.

Finlay, an American who operated a sailing school in Antigua, had a complement of 28, including 13 from the U.S., seven from Britain, six from the Caribbean, one from Canada and one from Guyana...
