...outdone, the Democrats' fund-raising gala last month was a two-day affair that raised $12.3 million, the biggest haul in Democratic Party history. It started with intimate dinners with top Clinton appointees at the homes of such luminaries as Ethel Kennedy and Vice President Al Gore. Those who gave $5,000 or more received a briefing by Clinton Cabinet officers, while the largest moneybags (those in the $250,000 category) got the best seats at the black-tie dinner on the second night...
...copy shops, polish off the buffet-table spreads and try to make others at the hotel bar think they were in the room for the big strategy session.

Gore, 48, brushes aside questions about 2000 by pointing to the Scripture hanging on his wall: "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might." Says he: "The future will take care of itself." But after one or two terms as best supporting actor, the ultimate promotion beckons. When Bob Dole announced he would quit the Senate, Gore was standing outside the Oval Office with chief of staff Leon Panetta, who said he thought Dole's move didn't make sense.
