Why Blacks Shouldn't Vote for Hillary by Peter Noel Unlike scores of my disillusioned relatives and friends, I've only recently come to the conclusion that African Americans should not vote for U.S. Senate candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton. The other day, I tore up my invitation to celebrate Mrs. Clinton's 53rd birthday at an October 25 "Show at Roseland Ballroom to benefit New York Senate 2000." My $1000 contribution would have entitled me to a gold ticket and given me entrée to a cocktail reception and preferred seating at a "celebrity cabaret" featuring "Hillary players" such as Whoopi Goldberg, Robert De Niro, and Cher. I know that some of you are saying, "This Uncle Tom done lost his god-damn mind." Indeed, I've joined the anti-Clinton campaign, but not the vast conspiracist subculture found in right-wing populism. I still believe, as essayist Ralph Melcher put it, that "the right wing has succeeded in doing what it set out to do . . . make Bill and Hillary into political monsters." Maybe the time has come to gain respect for ourselves and from our patronizing oppressors in the Democratic Party by withholding our vote and acting, for once in our political lives, on the basis of principle and racial pride. villagevoice.com

Gore's environmental depredations began in 1973 after he bought a farm near Carthage, Tenn., loaded with zinc from his father, Albert Gore Sr., who had acquired it from Armand Hammer, an oil tycoon, art forger, stock swindler and longtime friend of several Soviet dictators. Gore Sr. had been on Hammer's payroll from 1950 to 1970 while the elder Gore was also a senator from Tennessee. After his defeat in 1970, he became senior vice president of Hammer's Occidental Petroleum Co., and headed its subsidiary, Island Creek Coal Co. Once again a tie in with Occidental and Armand Hammer..is the Senate looking into this?
