...Earned Income Tax Credit, a program that rewards the working poor and softens the blow of welfare reform. Furthermore, the Gore's plan won't blow a hole in the budget; the Bush plan would cause deficits even if the budget surpluses materializes as expected. Still, neither plan does enough to address the current tax loopholes that benefit wealthy individuals and corporations. Closing the loopholes, which should be the priority of the upcoming administration, would mean a tax break for the working poor rather than the Fortune...
Many students are weighing the choice between Gore and Green Party candidate Ralph Nader, including some who hope to cast a "tactical vote," if Gore seems far enough ahead in their state. Given the unreliability of poll numbers and the vagaries of voter turnout, we warn students from casting this kind of electoral protest.

...fiving across the American landscape, caring and sharing like nobody's business, the alpha male of millennial dream, his face a kaleidoscope of exuberance. And it hasn't worked. After all that profligate expenditure of self, he remains locked in a too-close-to-call race against a nice enough fellow from Texas and Yale whose mind, even in the midst of a presidential debate, seems to behave like a marathon runner at the 24-mile mark--struggling, panting for coherence...
