...Gore wound up his speech, with Clinton, Hillary and Tipper standing beaming behind him, a question rippled through the press corps: Would Clinton really leave? Would a man who loves more than anything else plunging into rope lines resist the urge to do it one more time? We watched in anticipation as Al kissed Tipper, hugged Clinton, hugged Hillary, Hillary hugged Tipper, Tipper hugged Bill. Bill and Hillary and Chelsea (who popped up to the stage at the last minute) then stood together and waved bye-bye to Al and Tipper, who stood near the lectern. Then the three Clintons...
...cream cone), and he'll be campaigning for Gore in the fall, but as symbolism, it doesn't get much better than this (although we were still hoping for a real torch).

There aren't enough hours in the day for a single listener to get a handle on all these microbands. Unless you've got rabbit-quick DSL service (most ordinary folks have relatively tortoise-like 56K modems), downloading a song can take...
...Democratic convention, the political talk show circuit is hopping. Speculation abounds: Can the Dems, handicapped now by the double whammy of a largely indifferent electorate and a press corps exhausted by the rigors of covering the GOP action in Philadelphia, manage to kindle some kind of excitement? Will voters tune in to meager network coverage? Can Joe Lieberman successfully pass some of his vaunted moral gravitas to his running mate? Will the Clintons leave town before they sap too much of the energy ostensibly meant for Gore...
