...Vice President is often described as a play-it-safe politician who sticks to poll-tested scripts and panders every chance he gets. Though there's truth to this image (think Elian), Gore is capable of making gutsy campaign choices (think Lieberman). Lurking behind the often slippery candidate is a man whose approach to governance is undeniably bold...

"Flash," as they started calling him, was a 16-year-old French Jew whose father taught painting at my high school. Though Daniel concealed being a Jew, he was boisterous about being the best ballon chasseur player and about having persuaded May Qudsi to let him peek at her underpants behind closed doors.
