Robert S. Feldman, a social psychologist at the University of Massachusetts who researches lies, is not sure Gore's misstatements add up to much. The misfires are so easily verified that they don't seem like purposeful distortion, he said.

``Really good liars don't get caught,'' he said. ``Part of this phenomenon may just be a simple failure of memory. We remember things the way we want to remember them.''

In the case of Gore's uncle, the campaign relied on a newspaper obituary published in '59 that said the uncle was treated for an illness caused being gassed in France.
