If Al Gore wins the Nobel Peace Prize
The more important matter is what happens to our national dialogue and our democracy if indeed the Nobel Prize is awarded to Gore. From the moment his award is announced through his speech in December accepting the prize, Al Gore will be the most influential living American in defining the terms of our national debate.

Climate Week (Gore at United Nations, September 24)
The coming week could set a record for the number of high-profile hours spent discussing global warming and what to do about it. It begins with a special one-day session at the United Nations, at which Al Gore will press the case for strong collective action to stop the rise of greenhouse gases.

A tale of two speeches
Five years ago this month, Al Gore appeared before the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco and -- even as the Bush administration publicly argued the dangers of Saddam Hussein in a march toward war in Iraq -- became one of the first major public figures to warn that such action would be a fool's mission. Gore's blistering speech in San Francisco against a future war in Iraq was delivered seven months before the March 20, 2003, American-led invasion. The detailed policy address and sharp public rebuke by Gore set him apart from many other Democrats on the national scene at the time, including current Democratic presidential candidates and U.S. Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Joe Biden and Christopher Dodd and former Sen. John Edwards, all of whom eventually voted to authorize the president's use of force in Iraq.

Draft Al Gore? A great idea globally and internationally
Al Gore bears similarity to the aforementioned Americans (Wendell Willke and Adlai Stevenson) in one basic respect - international conscience and global responsibility. Gore has seized the number one issue confronting the world - how to save it from the perils of global warming or nuclear annihilation.

Gore adds Emmy to his awards success
Though his documentary won an Oscar and he now has an Emmy, Al Gore doesn't rate his chances high for a Grammy. "I'm working on my dance steps and singing performance, but don't hold your breath," the former vice president said with a laugh Monday, speaking by phone from Los Angeles. But it might have sounded equally ludicrous five years ago to suggest that Gore would, in one calendar year, receive standing ovations at both the Academy Awards and the Emmys. At Sunday night's Emmy ceremony, Gore and Joel Hyatt were honored for creative achievement in interactive television for the cable channel they founded, Current TV.
