...seen as pandering to Florida's Cuban vote. At first the campaign stonewalled the press, hoping the problem would "just go away," as a top adviser put it. "[Karenna] said, 'You need to explain this.'" About a week later, Gore went on the Today show. Though it failed to undo the damage, it did take some of the bite out of the daily coverage...
...coming, and put together a nice little "buy on the rumor, sell on the news" rally that stood ready to unravel just as neatly in the wake of Greenspan's call. The Fed's comments are aimed at defusing a rally-cum-wealth effect that could spark consumption and undo all of Big Al's good work. But there'll be more than enough relief left over to spark a nice upturn in the days and weeks ahead...

A perfect, friendly backdrop for the down...
With Florida's water supply and a $14 billion annual tourist business in jeopardy, the Army Corps of Engineers put forward a $7.8 billion plan in 1998 to undo many of its earlier projects and restore the slow-moving sheet of water that made the Everglades a natural wonderland. Billions more will be spent removing phosphorus from agricultural runoff, restoring habitats and modifying development plans to reduce stress on the system, but there is no guarantee that even these efforts will bring back the Everglades. The unsettling prospect that the planet's richest nation may not have the wherewithal...
