...tendency to cross his hands in front of his crotch and sway, as though he just realized he'd been hitting the podium-side water a little too heavily. Sorry to be a broken record, but it reinforced the old stereotypes of each man: Gore as machine, Bush as restless first grader...
...Martin: Look, the world obviously divides into men and women, but I think there?s a bigger category: restless and not restless. The not-restless are my friends who meet their wives when they?re 22, they marry them, and they?re happy. And the restless are unsettled, always looking around the corner, thinking too much.

...decades trying to reunite. Anne Watson is a family-law attorney in Bozeman, Mont., and has served as an administrative judge in divorce cases.

He was in his polyrhythmic New York street-boy mode, placing percussive emphasis and new-agey world music arrangements on hits such as "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "Graceland." Two musical highlights from the evening spotlighted the night's political purpose. The finale had Crosby, Stills & Nash leading all the performers (save Midler) chorusing on the presciently themed "Teach Your Children," a song that Graham Nash might have custom-composed for the Gore-Lieberman campaign (if he hadn't written it 32 years earlier.) The sentimental charm of the song seemed...
