...again, The Crimson has started off the year's Undergraduate Council presidential race with a one-sided and biased article. Yesterday's news article "Five Tickets Will Seek Highest Council Post" (News, Nov. 27), introducing the start of the presidential campaign, focused the spotlight on one particular candidate without even mentioning a few of the tickets on the front page. Already, the news coverage has designated a front runner, a "man to beat." Yet, the campaign has not even started...

For her, the unending election night was heaven--and Palm Beach the red-hot center of paradise. After a sample of ballots were hand counted for an excruciating 17 hours and Gore picked up extra votes, Roberts did the math in her head: if he got 19 more votes from recounting only 1% of the ballots, he might get 1,900 more votes...
