Gore for his part was taught at his prep school to choose the hard right over the easy wrong, which is a good lesson, assuming it's easy to tell those apart. He knows he won the national popular vote, but under the Constitution, that does not matter. He believes he won Florida as well, but his virtual victory slipped through his hands and broke into tiny pieces, which he was desperately trying to paste together by hand and by law. Was Gore just supposed to concede all over again, with Democrats across the land complaining that the only reason...
When Walter took TIME's helm, media critics were convinced that newsweeklies had seen better days, especially with talk of 500 cable channels--and that was before the Internet, with its myriad possibilities, exploded onto the scene. Yet Walter and his staff have proved the pundits wrong, making TIME a lively, incisive and must-read magazine. He brought to the job his passion for politics, technology, business and social issues. He also brought a new generation of young writers to TIME and made it a fun and exciting place to work. As a result, today's TIME is a crisply...

We signed up and then they were bought by Disney a month later, and yet we didn't stop to think that maybe we should adjust or rethink. We still opened the first show with the President breast-feeding...
...found that people who lose cases on their merits often complain that they've been "out-lawyered." I'm growing a little weary of the Bush campaign's constant cry that Gore's lawyers changed the rules in the middle of the game. Fine, but if the rules are wrong or don't reflect the will of the voter, don't you want to change them? A foolish consistency remains the hobgoblin of little minds. Especially those on television...
