Bob Dole has joked that it's going to take a swat team to blast Clinton out of the Oval Office, so we don't need to be worried about whether he's going to give two weeks' notice. No fusion Cabinet, no bonding with members of the congressional opposition, will substitute for a genuine, authoritative result we can all live with, however unhappily.

So Gore started with a gambit his daughter Karenna thought of: "I'd like to start by offering you a deal, Jack. If you won't use any football stories, I won't tell any of my warm and humorous stories about chlorofluorocarbon abatement." In one stroke, Gore got in a semi-funny self-deprecating wonk joke and got Kemp off his game. Gore spends the rest...
