and also that Gore never did sell his OXY oil stocks.... I dont think it is mandatory to "sell" one's stocks when one holds political office - one has to ensure that one does not have any direct control/influence over whats done with the stocks. I recollect this because Dave Packard (co-founder of HP) was at one stage part of the US DoD. His stocks in HP at that time were held and managed by a trust fund, of which he was not a member.

I seem to recall that his mother owned the Oxy stock. Course she was in her 80's and he was her only heir, but TECHNICALLY, he didn't own them. and also that Gore never did sell his OXY oil stocks....
