I for one, do not want a politician to tell me how much market share(with an entirely aribtrary number) my company can control I agree and Gore is dead wrong on that point. Fortunately we live in a democracy and neither Gore nor Bush will be able to make such decisions. These decisions are made by courts who base them on what congress has approved. I think realistically there is only two major things that a President can do here: (1) to choose the supreme court judges, and (2) to allocate the funds among various government agencies. To be sure both of these items affect the country. But the effect is indirect and in the short term a far cry from what the administrations claim. JMO, ST

****To be fair to Gore & Bush, every politician should be allowed to take back the ten dumbest things said on the campaign trail. Cal Coolidge was the last strong silent President.He never said much and what he said didn't matter anyway. Whats on the agenda for tomorrow? Have we had the one day required mini-correction? Are we headed higher Thursday and Friday. Will AMAT forge ahead in spite of pressure from the D.O.J.? These are the burning issues of the week, not some sound byte from soon to be leaders, taking us on a trip to nowhere. Jerome
