Does Clinton truly aspire to be a part of history? If so, David's story in the history book of the holy has a lesson for the Lame Duck in Chief: Once the sinner steps aside and is succeeded by an unsoiled brainiac, everything is all right. Al Gore'69, do your stuff. This goose is cooked. Melissa Rose Langsam '00, a Crimson editor, is a Near Eastern Languages and Civilization concentrator in Kirkland House...
...presidential campaigns. And Americans' appetite for Republicans in the Governor's mansion may betray a hunger for a Republican in the White House--a Republican like, say, Texas Governor George W. Bush, who is expected to whip his Democratic opponent this year and, according to polls, would beat Al Gore in a head-to-head presidential race.

He is here absolutely right; nothing that happens is unbelievable (although a prison escape strains credulity), but it is all quite weird and foreign to a life lived outside of wartime...
...losses in the budget fight," says TIME congressional correspondent James Carney. "Republicans have chosen compromise rather than risk the fallout of another shutdown." Dick Gephardt got to talk about saving the children, the teachers and other warm political fuzzies -- he was in such a good mood he thanked Al Gore. Republicans, despite all those Congressional seats, were strangely talking about what they had managed to save...
