After the debate, self-satisfied Gore operatives moved about the press room, and Berman caught sight of Carter Eskew, the Vice President's message strategist and principal knife sharpener. Berman leaped to his feet, strode across the room and gave Eskew a big, happy hug. Then Gore's campaign manager, Donna Brazile, came over and slapped Berman on the back. It was the same thing that had just happened onstage, the victor playing kissy-face with the vanquished, but there was more to it than that, because Al Gore owes Bill Bradley a huge debt. Meeting the stiff challenge that...
...lift its ban on interracial dating.) Bush spent the week surrounding himself with Roman Catholic supporters and clerics, visiting Catholic charities and generally waltzing back toward the center and the soothing themes he was singing last summer. When he campaigned in Georgia, conservative adviser Ralph Reed was nowhere in sight--because he was keeping out of sight, meeting with Bush away from the public and the press.

Now brazen and glittering, now radiantly visionary, the Liebermann Second, a resplendent choral symphony based on the poetry of Walt Whitman, is the work of a composer unafraid of grand gestures and openhearted lyricism. Says conductor Litton, who picked Liebermann, 39, as the orchestra's composer-in-residence: "Lowell is proving that new classical...
Analysts expect Wynn, who is gradually losing his sight to a degenerative eye disease called retinitis, to reject Kerkorian's bid as too little when the board meets this week. "There's no question that the offer isn't high enough," says a Mirage insider. "The real question is, What do we want to be when we grow up?" Translation: unless Wynn can win over Wall Street, his long-term chances of evading a predator like Kerkorian could be just a mirage...
