...troubling to see the ticket using Orthodox Judaism to counter Bush's born-again, Jesus-Day Christianity. But if this is the way politics is played these days, Gore seems to be saying, at least we're in there working it, refusing to give an inch on moral fervor. (Gore, said Lieberman, "has never wavered...as a servant of God Almighty.") But the Gore campaign knows it's all too easy to overplay the religion thing, which is why Lieberman dialed back the devotion later in the week--no prayers or invocations of God on the stump, just some remarks...
...easy. The FEC has never faced anything like this. Its first task: determine who followed the party's own nominating rules. That remains in dispute--naturally--since Hagelin forces have accused Buchanan of massive vote fraud.

That would include all of East Jerusalem, which would become the capital of Palestine, as well as areas colonized by 175,000 Jewish settlers, who would have to leave. The negotiators also demanded the right of all Palestinian refugees from areas that are within Israel to return...
...life. But if I had the money and the room I would put in a wall-size TV. So I was curious to check out the Olympus Eye-Trek, a pair of goggles that are supposed to make you feel like you're sitting in front of a 52-inch screen...
