...enough to take on the trial bar." Al Gore and the Democratic Party, who collect big contributions from trial lawyers, supported President Clinton's veto of a 1996 tort-reform bill backed by business interests. Advocacy groups are already running dueling TV ads. One suggests that lawmakers who would limit damages in lawsuits are out to deny victims of asbestos-related illnesses their just compensation, while another depicts trial lawyers as sharks in a feeding frenzy...
...crafty foe wouldn't limit itself to the Pentagon's single, simple decoy. The enemy could slip its warhead inside a decoy balloon and deploy it along with a dozen identical balloons, forcing the Pentagon into a futile effort to destroy all of them.

...should Powell limit his chances to be Madeleine Albright's successor to one in two? The general could easily cover his bets with a quick phone call to Gore headquarters. After all, Powell's a Republican of the very moderate kind (his chief post-military position is that he's been gung-ho about volunteerism), and Gore's from an administration that's made its living square in the political center. And there's presidential precedent: Bill Clinton's current secretary of defense, Bill Cohen, is a moderate Republican. Perhaps Gore should pre-emptively announce that he'd name Powell...
