...coordinated challenge against the military ballots because they would probably lean toward Bush. And over that point, the trench war threatened to escalate into a full-scale culture war. The Bush team charged that Gore was disenfranchising the fighting men and women he wants to command as President. General Norman Schwarzkopf called it "a very sad day for our country." With the overseas ballots tallied, Bush's lead grew from 300 to 930 votes. The Vice President's team believes new Gore votes from the hand recounts might be sufficient to overcome that lead--if the court compels Harris...
...benefit or her detriment. She bounded onto George W. Bush's campaign as his hard-charging Florida co-chair. Watchdog groups objected when she used the secretary of state's office--and taxpayer money--to produce get-out-the-vote TV ads starring Bush boosters like General H. Norman Schwarzkopf. Thus last week, when Harris unloaded decision after decision that appeared to be in lockstep with Bush strategy, cries of partisanship sprang up immediately. Harris, 43, insisted that her rulings were "independent," but many Floridians say otherwise...

The band has three vocalists for the four instrumentalists, allowing for spectacular vocal range and clever bantering among singers. Still, there are signs of experimental distortion: spectacular songs like "Half-Hearted Get" show the expert hand of Norman Cook, a.k.a. Fatboy Slim, credited with "open groove surgery." Critics have often described Heaton's lyrics as bitter and cynical (the band's previous female vocalist reputedly left because of one of the lyrics). But on Painting it Red, Heaton comes across as a defender of true love, even...
...that human messiness that is captured in CBS's excellent and disturbing Simpson mini-series American Tragedy (CBS, Nov. 12 and 15, 9 p.m. E.T.). Based on a book by Lawrence Schiller and former TIME correspondent James Willwerth, with a script by Norman Mailer--and contested in court by O.J., who tried to prevent its airing--it delves into the nest of brilliance, ego and sheer weirdness that was the high-priced Simpson defense. For the dream team portrayed here, justice is no science but rather a mix of fact-finding, gamesmanship, theater and politics--including the jockeying among Johnnie...
