...latest polls put him just a few points behind Gore in New Hampshire--and partly because he has only half an hour before sunset, and he wants to lead us to the banks of the Mississippi before then. "I want you all to see the riv-er the way I see the riv-er," he says, letting the word roll out slowly, a promise of ineffable revelations to come. Events such as this, designed to show off a candidate's small-town heart, tend to feel like Hollywood location shoots--superimposed on a place. Bradley wants to prove...

Ford warned that if the courts forbid Michigan to use race, along with other factors that the school employs to select its student body--including economic standing, geographic origin, athletic and artistic achievement--they would turn back the clock to an era when minorities "were isolated and penalized for the color of their skin...or national ancestry."
