...Where Bush and Gore present a real choice is on the more abstract, but more vital, questions surrounding the nature of American power and how to use it. Gore has outlined a robust foreign policy driven as much by morality as strategic self-interest. "Our national interest should be defined in terms of our values," he says. Gore and his running mate, Joseph Lieberman, have long been among the country's most hawkish Democrats.

...easy to forget you're watching Kathleen Turner instead of Tallulah Bankhead. The one-woman show takes the form of an intimate conversation with the audience as Bankhead plans her entrance into the political arena-no easy task for a woman who once described herself as "pure as the driven slush."

After the last lift closes in the early evening, Ragged Mountain is all yours...

It?s that thinking that has driven the crackdown on the Falun Gong religious sect over the past 18 months. Despite the group?s apparently harmless blend of Buddhism, exercise and mysticism, the idea of a nationwide organizational structure to rival the Communist Party?s was intolerable to the leaders in Beijing. And concerns over the social impact...
