Bush's high pique over polls comes across as pique over people's not agreeing with him. He proudly says he's "stubborn," as if it's an unalloyed virtue. He wants it known he's not managed, telling the Times, "I can't tell you all the times when I say I'm not going to give this speech...They're changed. Trust me." Wouldn't he have been better off letting words be put in his mouth on David Letterman's Late Show than blundering into an unsavory riff about his host's open-heart surgery? His quick...

Playing against him, you knew the game wasn't over until the clock showed all zeroes, because there he was on the other sideline, waiting. People may say Dan never won a Super Bowl, but they're forgetting that football...
Wasting no TIME, AL GORE has begun the process of choosing a running mate, sources tell TIME. The first two names working their way through the vetting process: North Carolina Governor JIM HUNT, 62, and Florida Senator BOB GRAHAM, 63, both moderate and strong on education. The third-most-talked-about option, Energy Secretary Bill Richardson, 52, has his fate tied in part to gas prices...
