> * Al Gore got a speeding ticket while driving a rented car--a most Earth-unfriendly Lincoln four-door, according to the ticket--on a visit to relatives in Oregon. He was doing 75 in a 55 zone. The state trooper who stopped Gore said that the ex-veep was polite throughout the encounter. Earlier rumors that Gore rolled his eyes, shook his head, and sighed ostentatiously while the ticket was being written up seem to have been unfounded.
