...laws, which allow multiple candidates in the first round. Jospin received just over 16% of the vote, compared with nearly 17% for Le Pen and 20% for Chirac. Other candidates of the left, together with the Greens, gathered nearly 27%. Just as some Democrats blamed Ralph Nader for Al Gore's failure in 2000, so Jospin's supporters can blame the comrades who siphoned votes away from him. Still, the question remains: Why did so many voters desert the mainstream candidates? How about: because they are bored stiff with them. Chirac first served as Prime Minister in - this...
...defenders argue that environmentalists tend to be a misanthropic lot. "For many people, you can never do enough," EPA boss Christie Whitman told TIME.

Now we have his book pretty much as he wrote it, a bit of unadulterated pre-Sept. 11 wrath and a handy compilation of everything Moore's fans hate about the contested 2000 election ("Gore won!"), corporate greed and the buccaneering free-market culture that gave us Enron. Some of it is very funny. A lot of it is old-time left-wing boilerplate. But all of it is in the voice of the rare liberal commentator who breathes some of the same fire you get from...
