...late to fall in love; the race from here out is a fight for the last 10%, the hardheaded, ticket-splitting, late-deciding swing voters who may be the least likely to make an emotional decision but seem to have trouble making a pragmatic one too. Last week, when the two men met at last, Hot Lips Gore was not inviting the voters out on a date; he called it a "job interview" and set out to show why he was the more qualified to lead, even if that meant behaving like a bully. The good news for Gore...
Aucoin's iconoclasm has long met with resistance, and his encounter with the N.R.A. is not the first time his life has been threatened. This week he will receive the key to his hometown of Lafayette, La., but growing up there in the 1970s--openly gay, conspicuously tall (he is 6 ft. 4 in.) and unapologetically nonconformist--he was "the No. 1 pariah at school," recalls Aucoin, now 38. "Kids threw rocks at me, told me I was ugly and left death threats in my locker." He dropped out of school at 15, he says, when two classmates tried...

The hospital's operating-room staff worked around the clock all last week on injuries sustained in riots on the Mount. Khaled Warasni, 24, a tailor from Hebron, was shot in the back as he turned to gather more stones to throw at Israeli soldiers. When he felt the bullet, Warasni thought he would die a martyr. He recited his last words, the Muslim declaration of faith. "I wished to die," he says, lying sleepily in his hospital bed, "but, unfortunately, I didn...
Barak's nastiest surprise last week may turn out to be the violence among Israel's Arab population. Though Israelis call them "our Arabs," the 1 million Arab citizens of Israel consider themselves Palestinians. The call to defend al-Aqsa brought them out in the thousands. And it highlighted the political problems Barak still faces at home. Without the help of Israeli Arabs, Barak may not be able to cement his power--and Arafat may find himself facing a hard-line Israeli government. U.S. and Israeli officials often talk about how difficult it is to understand what Arafat wants...
