At a fund raiser for Massachusetts Representative Richard Neal at a downtown Washington steak house, Gore - still bearded and not yet back in fighting trim - tried out a few self-deprecating one-liners. He spends his days teaching a bit, he told the smallish room. "I'm a visiting professor - v.p. for short. It's a way of hanging...

Consider the reason she has sometimes given for taking the L.B.S. job: "Al Gore didn't win." Q&A TIME: What do you see ahead, economically, given the current slump? Tyson: The evidence points to a picking-up of the global economy in the second half of 2002. It will be a slow recovery to complement a fairly mild and short recession. What people shouldn...
