the dividing point in the history of the rehnquist court -- in many respects the dividing point in the history of our country who is the court's decision in bush v. gore. he is a great public speaker, and he takes questions, or as i heard him say once, i agreed to take questions. i cannot agree to answer questions, but he often gets a question about bush v gore. he says the same thing -- get over it. just speaking for myself, i am not over it. i am an obsessive. my last looks was a book called "to close the call," and it ended with the election. one of the things i tried hard to do and writing "too close to call" was interview out war. i tried everything. i wrote, i call, i worked every connection i had, and he would not talk to me. by coincidence, while working on this other book, i met al gore at a social occasion, and he had met -- read "too close to call. i am writing another book where bush v gore is the center of it. he said, you may be second.
