...GORE Gratuitous praise of Ellen the week after The Kiss; Dan Quayle, the flip side; p.r. help needed...
...former Wall Street bond trader, Rubin remains untroubled by the political conundrum he has created for his bosses Clinton and Al Gore. He spent nearly two hours last Wednesday on the phone with Representative Rob Portman of Ohio, the bill's major Republican sponsor, but the two couldn't bridge what Portman described as their "fundamental philosophical divide."

Clinton's less radical approach to the problem has opponents in his own party.

Early this year he allegedly threatened to blackball the impoverished Oklahoma tribes with the Clinton Administration if they didn't hire him to help try to reclaim some 7,500 acres of land that was under the control of the Agriculture Department. Tribal representatives met with Landow after ponying up $107,000 to the Democrats in 1996 for a chance to make their plea to Clinton, but they saw no action on their land. Landow wanted...
