...Statisticians put the probability that fewer than 1743 (the margin between Texas Gov. George W. Bush and Gore before this first recount) of the disputed Buchanan votes were meant for Gore is less than one in one billion. It seems the voters have been bamboozled not by a vicious and scheming "vast right-wing conspiracy" bent on disenfranchising the masses, but instead by sheer ineptitude, both on the part of the designers of the ballot and the designers of a cheap and inaccurate punch-card system. Need I even mention that we are in the 21st Century? Is the best...
...first-person account "I Shot an Israeli" by a militant Hamas field leader describing his actions in a street fight shocked me to the core [WORLD, Oct. 23]. How could anyone be so vicious as to get pleasure out of shooting Israelis? I applaud you for printing this article. It tells us of the hatred preached by the Islamic movement Hamas, and how hard it is to find peace in the Middle East because of the hate groups and terrorist organizations that are widely accepted throughout the Arab world.

Don't believe a word spoken by Gore campaign chairman Bill Daley: "All he does is lie." Hillary Clinton is "the witch" and, in an allusion to Vincent Foster's death, "the First Murderer." Half of America - the Democratic half - is "socialist." Or worse. After all, Gore won the popular vote because "Communist Kate Couric" and the rest of the media "prayed...
...other group needed somebody to be furious at. The impulse had as much to do with showbiz as with politics. When the post-election fray was joined by Jesse Jackson (whom one WABC spieler absently referred to as "Reverend Sharpton") and Robert Wexler ("one of the most vicious Clinton defenders," according to one of Grant's guests), the Radio Right hosts were ecstatic. They feed on familiar figures of liberal fun the way David Letterman milked the name "Buttafuoco" for years of monologues...
