...painstakingly negotiated centerpiece of four decades of international efforts to put an end to the live testing of nuclear weapons. Besides their immediate concern over Washington?s seeming abdication of its leadership role on nuclear nonproliferation, the international community was plainly shocked at the apparent unraveling of executive power in the U.S. After all, whom could you deal with in Washington if the legislature could so cavalierly slap down the President...
...intrigued by Jacqueline Newmyer's assertion that the "The Devil's Advocate" (FM, Oct. 7) was a "representative" account of the "power-plays" and "real-life drama" that take place on Harvard's extracurricular terrain.

For Gore, who?ll get a stump-thumping grassroots organization that his excitement-deprived campaign sorely needs ?- and one that has $40 million to spend ?- the endorsement couldn?t have come at a better time...
