...Barak, of course, is not naïve enough to believe he can get a final peace deal in the next four to five weeks, despite the last-ditch effort by President Clinton Wednesday to interest both sides in a comprehensive U.S. settlement proposal that would give the Palestinians 90 percent of the lands occupied by Israel in 1967, and split sovereignty over Jerusalem in a complex formula. Nobody is particularly optimistic about the deal flying at this late stage. And besides, it may be only a matter of weeks before "The Bulldozer" is in charge...
...used. We no longer eliminate candidates from the bottom, but try to identify those who are very strong in order to endorse them. As it does throughout the competition (and exams and term papers), the burden falls on candidates to make the best possible case for themselves. In its final phase, our committee does consider supporting materials from the Houses, but decisions fall on the basis of what candidates themselves have chosen to submit.

His graceful exit last week has apparently softened more than a few hearts - particularly among Republican voters, according to the poll - and has perhaps left a few doors open for his return to the national stage in four years. A final Gallup question asked, "If the 2004 presidential election were held today, whom would you vote for: Bush or Gore?" Gore took the race by 9 percentage points; 50 to 41 percent.
