To the Editor:
Re "A Thankful Gore Clasps Donors Before They Stray" (news article,
March 5):
You quote someone attending a dinner that Al Gore gave as a thank- you
to donors to his presidential campaign as saying: "People weren't quite
sure what to talk about. People knew it was unseemly to talk about Clinton.
But they also thought it was unseemly to talk about Bush. So, after a long
pause, they talked about the environment."
It may come as a shock to some Americans, but many people in Europe,
including me, consider the environment to be far more interesting and infinitely
more important than either your former or current president.
