...shows had been given new momentum by news of another school shooting that morning, but when the votes were counted, the 100 Senators had split evenly. Gore began his intonations: "The Senate being equally divided, the Vice President votes in the affirmative, and the amendment is agreed to." Striding afterward into the office of Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle, Gore was met with muscular arm clasps by his Democratic cohort. "This is fantastic," beamed the Vice President. "That was really...
...garage and everyone tries to squeeze into last year's bathing suit. Kids start dreaming in color again. On Memorial Day, several dozen members of my extended family gather at a park near my rural hometown in upstate New York to eat barbecued chicken and deviled eggs.

His aides brushed off the gaffe--they have become such masters of explanation that justifying a President who couldn't remember the name of the man he wanted for Prime Minister...
...Greenspan is watching. Just as nearly everyone expected, the Fed passed on an interest-rate hike Tuesday; however, it did shift its "policy bias" from neutral to slightly worried. "While the FOMC [Federal Open Market Committee] did not take action today," the Fed said afterward, "the committee was concerned about the potential for a buildup of inflationary imbalances that could undermine the favorable performance of the economy." Though they couldn't have been surprised, stock marketeers did gulp a little, sending the Dow down 50 points or so after the afternoon announcement. By the end of trading...
