...predict during his presidential campaign which Gore you might see on any given morning, his argument for winning Florida was protean. He praised the hardworking Palm Beach canvassers one day and sued them the next. He wanted to count every vote, but countenanced his supporters' efforts to get thousands thrown out. He vowed to honor voter intent, a goal that lost some of its nobility as the nation saw how many kinds of guesswork that would take.

Supposedly charismatic and reputable leaders have taken to groveling for votes, candidates bend constitutional bylaws to justify their wayward conduct, and Veritas has been thrown to the wind in the name of resumes, law school applications and artificial impressions of power. Have we always been like this? Or does putting 6,500 intense, ambitious and hungry young adults in competition with one another naturally result in a rejection of integrity and morals...
