...standing upright against the horizon at real beaches around northern Europe. The Hoyningen-Huene is one of the psychic landmarks of fashion photography, a picture in which the clothes matter less than the canny mood, both aerodynamic and dreamy.

Gore is committed to cleaning up the system by banning soft money, the unlimited corporate, individual and labor donations that flow into party coffers. His commitment to reform is not new.
