...among the potential candidates who has run a full campaign and knows what you have to go through to do it." Gore, who spent the weekend before the election campaigning for unsuccessful Florida gubernatorial candidate Bill McBride, seems determined to soften his wooden image. He has taped a Barbara Walters interview to promote his new book on families, Joined at the Heart, and will be host of Saturday Night Live in December. Gore has yet to declare himself a candidate, but few politicians would go through the ritual humiliation of an SNL appearance without a specific goal...
...Broccoli, you grow up making him. EON, the production house behind 007, has been a family business since Albert (Cubby) Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, who produced the first nine films together, set it up in 1961.

Barbara's standard reply on the subject of succession is always, "That's like walking down the aisle and being asked who your next husband will be." Brosnan will return for the next film but is noncommittal on a sixth. "It's hard to plan," he says. "Not knowing what's around the corner is one of the joys of being an actor."
