...staff was wrong in September to endorse a policy on blocking group size that unnecessarily restricts student choice. The recent circulation of a petition against the shrinking of blocking groups only confirms that judgment. The change from 16 to eight makes an already unpleasant blocking process even more painful, and by signing the petition first-years expressed their dissatisfaction through the only means available to them...
...challenge that Bradley posed last fall forced Gore to become a far better candidate--to debate important issues, hone his ideas as well as his cleavers, overhaul his campaign and his personal style, and finally say why he thinks he should be the next President. Bradley did many things wrong in the course of this campaign, but what he did right helped trigger the transformation of Al Gore--from the laughingstock of last summer to the focused, effective candidate who will be ready for the Republicans next fall...

He respected "the people," but not one by one. If the premise of a question was wrong, he would correct it even if the question was posed by a kid. His high school coach once said he played basketball grimly, as if you were supposed to suffer for the game, and he stumped for votes the same way. Even when he was having fun, he didn...
