...Michael Kinsley didn't provide a real "voter's guide" on Ralph Nader and Pat Buchanan, as the title of his piece led me to expect [ESSAY, Sept. 25]. The occasional bone thrown by the press to these candidates by actually mentioning their names never includes details about real issues. We hear daily what George W. Bush and Al Gore plan to do if they get to the White House. I want more information on Nader and Buchanan. ROSE M. RUMMEL-EURY Portland...
...When the talk turned to health insurance, you could almost see Gore licking his chops. Bush gave a pat response about policy initiatives, and Gore launched into an attack on Texas? record: "Texas ranks 49th in the nation for children with healthcare, 49th in the nation for women with healthcare and 50th for families with healthcare," he crowed. The Governor looked miffed, as if Gore had just insulted him personally, which perhaps he had.

With one of the most consistent rotations in baseball (outside of, perhaps, the beaten Atlanta Braves!), the Cardinals can count on solid pitching outings from a number of talented pitchers. Ace Darryl Kile will give the Mets fits, as will rookie southpaw Rick Ankiel. And with Garrett Stephenson, Pat Hentgen and Andy Benes also able and ready, there appears to be no letdown of strong arms...
Gardner has the aw-shucks routine down pat. "I didn't think I could beat him. But I grew up on a farm where you just go forward and get the job done," he said. "Even though I wasn't thinking I was going to win, I was going to work as hard as I could." The only other time the two met, in a 1997 world-championship round, Karelin obliterated him. "When he threw me, my feet almost hit the back of my head. That's not a good thing," he recalled...
