...potential, come the late fall, for more than a few disgruntled voters. By taking an aggressive stance against the status quo, Gore manages to create the desired distance from Clinton's energy policies, assuring voters that he's able to get tough on important issues - even when the target is his longtime ally...
Spurred by thousands of complaints, the state is clamping down. Next week, for the first time in 30 years, hunters will be allowed to shoot bears. The two-day target harvest is 175, and if that's not met, archers will try for kills in October. "People are fed up," says state wildlife biologist Bob Eriksen.

...Jersey, animal-rights groups are seeking a court injunction against the bear hunt. Last summer Governor Christine Todd Whitman pressured the state's fish and game council to reduce its target from 350 to 175.

...partisan potshots.? Not this year; instead of stopping at the water's edge, politics in Washington is plunging off the deep end. This Wednesday, the House Republican leadership's Policy Committee will produce a 209-page report pillorying the Clinton administration for its handling of Russia. The main target? Al Gore, who gets two chapters all to himself - one concerning the bilateral commission he chaired with former Russian prime minister and Gazprom magnate Viktor Chernomyrdin, the other on the "barnyard epithet" Gore reportedly scrawled across a CIA report alleging Chernomyrdin's corrupt activities. These are part of a broader pattern...
