...misplaced books. The job requires "some heavy lifting," at least two languages, each from a different language group" (Slavic, Romance, etc.), "ability to work independently" and "attention to detail." This is the only job I can imagine that would take someone qualified enough to run a small country with dual national languages and pay them the same as the guy who works in the wrestling office. I wonder, does the library inform applicants that it is a college tradition to take one book in the library and put it somewhere else...

It's almost as if Gore is basing his entire campaign for the next few weeks...
...This dual identity may explain why commentators have had such a hard time pinning Lieberman down ideologically. Within hours, Gore was said variously to be moving towards the center with his selection and to be placating his party's left-wing base. The senator's record has inspired very different interpretations. Rabbi Michael Lerner, the editor of Tikkun magazine, groused that Lieberman was "bad for the Jews and bad for America" because of his conservative stances on school vouchers and Social Security and his hawkish enthusiasm for the military. And Lieberman is unquestionably conservative--for an ethnic Jew. Meanwhile, some...
