...Bill Daley sent out a written statement. "Al Gore and Joe Lieberman are now reviewing the 5-4 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court... we will address the decision in full detail at the appropriate time tomorrow." Even shorter. And in true Gore form, not quite code for a concession...
...Crimson Staff displayed a truly remarkable level of partisanship in blasting the U. S. Supreme Court's well-reasoned decision to hear Texas Gov. George W. Bush's appeal of the Florida Supreme Court's restructuring of the Florida Election Code (Editorial, Dec. 11). The decision handed down by the Florida Court created a multitude of practical and constitutional problems.

Another trick is to log in around midnight central time, when many reservations expire and are dumped back into the pool of available flights. Around Christmas, avoid Dec. 22, 23, 24, 26 and 27. If you don't mind flying on Christmas Day, you'll get the lowest rates...
