That wasn't an option, in Gore's view, what with Bush promising at every campaign stop to restore honor and dignity to the White House. Gore concedes he might have been more adept at pointing out the difference between "a single personal mistake on the part of the President and one of the greatest records of success that any Administration had ever compiled." But had the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 the other way, Gore says ruefully, some of his critics might be saying, "You threaded the needle pretty skillfully on that...
...Pakistan side, whether by themselves or with Pakistani officers. Under the current delicate political climate for the government of Musharraf, say senior U.S. and Pakistani officials, that would be a mission impossible.

Not talk for talk's sake - though why not, when he's so good at it? - but to clarify thorny ideas and to reveal thickety feelings...
Your editorial (“Bestowing An Undue Honor,” Nov. 21) was a compelling and sensible refutation of the reborn invitation to poet Tom Paulin. Claims that Paulin’s remarks, advocating violence and murder against Israelis, were misconstrued or taken out of context are unpersuasive. Let’s hear Paulin say, without ambiguity or wiggle-wobble, what he thinks should be done to bring peace to the Middle East...
