Gore may want to keep the Clintons at arm's length in L.A., but he won't be distancing himself from the Clinton record. America's historic economic expansion and vastly improved social indicators are blue-chip arguments for a Gore presidency--and they refute Bush's version of the recent past. In other words, the rematch isn't going away. Just to keep the rivalry humming, Gore plans to send Clinton to campaign in battleground states in the fall. Poppy Bush will be spending a dozen or so days on the stump as well. The two old warriors will...
...glimpse into the greatness of Tiger Woods, look past his runaway victory in the British Open at St. Andrews last month. Forget his triumph--also by a record margin--in the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach in June. And set aside his prospects for stomping the field in another major tournament, next week's PGA Championship at Valhalla. Consider, instead, what Woods did right after he dominated the 1997 Masters.

Nicklaus and Woods say they feel a bond, and the older man has been generous with compliments and advice--for example, counseling Woods against playing so many events that he burns out. But Nicklaus is proud of his records and coy in some of his comments. For one: "Tiger is much like any other player who is at the top of his game." Translation: many players have a hot hand...
...place near Orlando. "I feel completely overwhelmed," he told a Stanford friend after his first pro tournament. Just before the 1997 Masters, an article in GQ quoted him telling a stream of off-color, racist and homophobic jokes. Woods thought the remarks had been off the record. Once burned, he has been cool with reporters ever since...
