For the Record

According to CNN poll, a plurality of 46 per cent say Al Gore’s fundraising broke the law; 73 per cent say an independent counsel should be appointed to investigate White House fundraising… Sen. Bob Kerrey (D., Neb.) says Gore’s troubles are making Democrats nervous: “People are worried about it. … No one wants to have a member of his party, let alone a high official, be the focus of an investigation.” . . . While on a Florida swing, Gore throws pass to Charles Mincy, Tampa Bay Buccaneer defensive back. Mincy says he would have liked to blitz Gore: “The fellas told me the Secret Service would get me before I could get to him . . . but I think we might have missed the Vice President for a couple of days.” . . . Disgraced Clinton consultant Dick Morris is reportedly converting to Catholicism.

Liberal John Judis, writing in GQ about Gore rival and presidential aspirant Dick Gephardt: “I was prepared to like this would-be President who is right about so many economic issues. … I found him to be extremely closed and difficult to fathom. To the extent that I was able to perceive anything of the man behind the positions, what I saw didn’t reassure me about the kind of . . . President Gephardt would be.” . . . For the “we’ll believe it when we see it” file: Gephardt maintains, “I’m for tax reform. I want to lock arms with Dick Armey and Bill Archer.” . . . The Nation says of recently concluded AFL-CIO convention: “Any week that begins with an invocation to resist ‘the tyranny of capitalism’ and ends with a call to join ‘the class struggle’ can’t be all bad.”
