: If the Presidential candidacy of Senator Albert Gore Jr. of Tennessee is indeed in any jeopardy, it was hard to detect it in the ebullient mood of the crowd at the Pierre Hotel last night. If the Presidential candidacy of Senator Albert Gore Jr. of Tennessee is indeed in any jeopardy, it was hard to detect it in the ebullient mood of the crowd at the Pierre Hotel last night. More than 300 Gore supporters had paid $1,000 a person for cocktails and dinner, and the some 260 people who attended the party were in no mood to hear that their candidate might not win the Democratic nomination. As Tom Tisch, the son of Laurence A. Tisch, said over cocktails: ”We have to convince people that a vote for Gore is not a vote for Jesse Jackson, and I feel a big turnaround in New York in the last few days.” Mr. Tisch described his man succinctly: ‘’smart, understanding, decent and tough - the Bill Bradley of the South.” More : query.nytimes.com |
