Decisions
What
would Bush and Gore do if their wife Kitty
were raped and murdered? We have their responses
to the trickiest questions.

Delegate Rorschach Test

Al
Gore's Speech: An advance look
Will

name? We have the answers to these and very few other
questions in our sneak
preview of the biggest moment in Al Gore's
political life since using the Mr. President aftershave
that one time.

The
Manchurian Candidate: Is Gore playing with a full deck?
Thirty years ago in Vietnam, Al Gore was captured
by the Chinese. In an underground jungle laboratory,
his mind was erased and reconfigured, transforming the
idealistic son of a U.S. Senator into a single-minded
puppet, programmed to one day reach the White House.
Today, his every move is manipulated using an ordinary
deck
of playing cards.
