Observe dashing Vice Presidential nominee AI Jr. '69, tall and handsome, the son of a senator. See tipper, bright and confident, with her pug-nose and shellacked hair. And look at their children--blond, glowing, pretty, stylish. The resilient Gore kids overcame adversity to beam and wave on national television. They'll never know the horror of frizzy hair or the burden...
...boring contrast to the intrafamily feuds of conventions past. But for all its made-for-TV slickness and We Are the World-type finale, the effort to show that Democrats believe in the American Dream had its moments of authenticity: Senator Al Gore's father scooping up his blond-haired grandson Albert III, 9, whose horrible brush with death was evoked in the Tennessean's eloquent and moving acceptance speech; 12-year-old Chelsea Clinton breaking into a smile of relief after she reclaimed her mother's hand on the jammed podium; Hillary Clinton and Tipper Gore dancing like...
Such determination and poise have made the blue-eyed, strawberry blond a three-time U.S. champion and the first American ever to secure an all-around world title. That triumphant moment, in the fall of 1991, was soured by grousing from the Unified Team that Zmeskal had won only because the meet was held on American turf, in Indianapolis.

To date, it is her proudest achievement...
...there they were, two perfectly coiffed, freshly scrubbed, oh-so-earnest fortysomething white Baptist Southerners in blue suits and ties, ignoring the sweat on their faces (as did the adoring blond wives at their sides), two self-confident moderates proclaiming themselves The Answer, The Change. They will rescue us from our malaise, says Clinton, because Americans don't really hate politics, we are just "fed up with failure" -- and failure is decidedly not what these two survivors are about. How could it be? Clinton and Gore lust for the pinnacle, but their motives are pure: "I tell you truthfully," said...
...their ambitions for the White House would collide. Consider the dualities: both are new-ideas moderates with a policy wonk's love of the intricacies of complex issues; both boast blue-ribbon educational pedigrees and are not ashamed to show it; both are Southern Baptists who married strong, assertive blond women; and both, having achieved political success early in life, have never made a secret of their zeal for higher office. In fact, Clinton almost jumped into the 1988 presidential race to vie with Gore for Southern support...
