...with his life, should matter less to voters than Bush's fibs, which have to do with our lives. At the end of the debate, Gore was showered with affection from his kids and Tipper, which can't be conjured up for the cameras. His utter inability to extend that emotion outward leads him to make up stories, which he then tells in slow motion, to seem more real. In the process, he ends up seeming less so. It's not sincerity he lacks, it's the insincerity to fake sincerity in a league with Reagan. It leaves him speaking...
...long serve downfield within 10 feet of three Cornell defenders. Surprisingly, none of them claimed it. Westfall, however, never gave up on the play, and swooped in on the ball 20 yards from the goal. She drove the ball forward and found the inside of the left post to extend Harvard's lead...

In 1995 lawmakers sought to widen the net to an additional 303,000 kids by expanding eligibility to families at 133% of the poverty level. First, the state had to obtain approval from Washington.

But walking around Sydney's Olympic Village, where I witnessed a giant blond Norwegian couple making out, Brazilian basketball players scootering by and Cuban boxers hogging the snowboarding video game, I was once again reminded of how out of place I am among...
...Gore and George W. Bush, you'll recall, have a pledge not to go negative on each other. More than a month after the considerable fooferaw over that negative Bush ad on Labor Day weekend, the pledge clearly does not extend to either candidate's running mate, press secretary, strategist, document shredder, gofer, or pet. But Gore and Bush's mouths will be pure, they say. Until, of course, some time on Thursday morning when it's apparent that civility hasn't broken open the race. At which point just about anything could very well...
