 | | Gore ran for President in the shadow of Clinton: in the shadow of Clinton’s talents and his mistakes—most of all, the affair with Monica Lewinsky, the supreme gift to the Republican opposition. |
 | | After it became clear that Clinton had lied to his wife, to Gore, to everyone, that he had, in fact, carried on the affair, the Clinton-Gore relationship, which had been more formal than advertised, collapsed nearly into silence. |
