...need to be disengaged to be bouncing. Having been at ground zero for both parties' summer sales event, I'm beginning to feel like a tennis ball. If next week's polls show Gore's pulled even, then I'll know I'm not alone in feeling that the ball's in Bush's court now. But if W. can shore up a few nagging questions, he could still put this thing away. What Gore did this week is define his plans, down to the last new cop on the street, and make himself a viable alternative to change...
...fund raiser for the Dumas, drew small crowds. Almodovar and Giecek are bitterly arguing over money. They could lose the Dumas.

...Womack has such a hit in I Hope You Dance, which has spent most of the summer as the No. 1 country single. A sort of 12-step program in verse ("Don't let some hell-bent heart leave you bitter/When you come close to selling out, reconsider"), this ballad by Mark D. Sanders and Tia Sillers gets a luscious setting, with Womack crooning it like a lullaby to a sad child. The song is sweet and swell, but it's not all that's special about the Jacksonville, Texas, singer...
