...problem of building a campaign around character, however, is that the past decade has provided serial lessons in its futility. Voters were prepared to overlook Clinton's transgressions in Arkansas in 1992, overlook Whitewater and Paula Jones and Johnny Chung in 1996, look past even Monica in the midterm elections of 1998. They may think Gore shades the truth, but it also may not ultimately matter. Fifty-four percent of likely voters say Gore is "honest and trustworthy enough to be President."

Critical systems are duplicated. For example, there are three ways to empty the ballast tanks on Trident missile boats. U.S. submarine crews are repeatedly drilled, ashore and afloat, with two key aims: to keep their sub safe and, if that fails, to get out alive. The top concerns for crews include knowing how to restrict...
