  The Vice-President We Need
It's instructive to compare our last vice-president (currently helping save the world, and I think that isn't an exaggeration) and our current one (currently trying to destroy it, and ditto).

Al Gore has spent seven years after the White House doing good works. Assuming that Dick Cheney lasts that long, does anyone believe that he'll actually do anything socially beneficial? Or will he instead spend the rest of his days trying to justify the war he instigated?

Anyway, Mark Leibovich and Patrick Healy team up to write a nice piece on Al Gore's visit to Congress.....

Healy, you will remember, got his start covering Harvard for the Globe....

I may be wrong, but I thought the Patrick Healy who used to write for the globe went by Patrick D. Healy in the NYT because there is another Patrick Healy. But maybe that's incorrect or no longer true.

Huh—good question. Could there really be two Patrick Healys, though? Seems unlikely. Perhaps he has abandoned that silly Crimson habit of using the middle initial....

Well, I'll be damned. Thanks for pointing that out. So which is our man? Patrick D.?
