Attention AMAT shareholders, voting for Al Gore could be hazardous to your financial health: Here are Al Gores comments in the latest issue of Red Herring: PH: That's why your speech at the convention was so odd, Mr. Vice President. It sounded like a return to the populist politics of the '50s and '60s. No. I would encourage you to reframe that. I'm not trying to move to the left or the right; I'm trying to move forward. No matter what your family income, you have an interest in seeing that your medical decisions are made by doctors instead of by HMOs. No matter what business you're in, if you are not a company that controls 70 percent of the market share, you have an interest in seeing the enforcement of reasonable antitrust standards that prevent unfair leveraging of an advantage in one sphere to stifle competition in another sphere.
