Democrats may also have benefited from stumping by Vice President Al Gore '69 and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, who barnstormed in districts where races were tight...
WASHINGTON: Gray Davis and Al Gore are going to get along great. The new governor of California -- its first Democratic one in 16 years -- is a mild-mannered, nuts-and-bolts pol just like Al. He's now in charge of redistricting California after the 2000 census. And he just happens to have 52 electoral votes to throw around.

Didn't know Depeche Mode...
...frighteningnumber of similarities with a horror film likeThe Bride of Chucky. Initially, the albumis innovative, promising and startling with itssudden climaxes and its metallic, synthesizedsound. Yet, Experiment Below loses itsshock value after the listener becomesdesensitized by the relentless repetition ofclimaxing patterns, as is the case with thesenseless gore in The Bride of Chucky.Music must be built on a foundation of inventiveand distinguishing ideas that mesh to form a highquality piece of art. The single and immutableconcept of Experiment Below is simplyincapable of sustaining the intensity anduniqueness that is falsely indicated in the firstcouple of tracks. At least The Bride ofChucky...
