Keiko has shown signs of wanting to mate, which may push him to try to join a group with fertile females, but whether he will be accepted into a pod is impossible to predict. He also has to "unlearn" what he was taught during his long years in captivity. Bit by bit, he has had to be distanced from humans, and his trainers reluctantly have had to drop, albeit gradually, the affectionate fuss they made over him. Physically, too, Keiko has had to be conditioned for a different life. The easy parts were training him to swim faster...
...computer-generated image called the G2K Targeting Map, on which cities and states that present opportunities and require immediate attention from the campaign glow an intense blue. The computer factors in poll numbers, historic Democratic performance, dates of and voter response to previous visits by the candidate, his running mate, family members or other surrogates.

More than a month after the considerable fooferaw over that negative Bush ad on Labor Day weekend, the pledge clearly does not extend to either candidate's running mate, press secretary, strategist, document shredder, gofer, or pet. But Gore and Bush's mouths will be pure, they say. Until, of course, some time on Thursday morning when it's apparent that civility hasn't broken open the race. At which point just about anything could very well...
