"Add Love Canal to the fist of verbal missteps by Vice President
Gore" (Ceci Connolly, The Washington Post, December 2, 1999).
"The man who mistakenly claimed to inspired the movie 'Love
Story' and to have invented the Internet says he didn't quite mean to say
he discovered a toxic waste site when he said at a high school forum Tuesday
in New Hampshire: 'I found a little place in upstate New York called Love
Canal.'" (Ceci Connolly, The Washington Post, December 2, 1999).
"Gore went on to brag about holding the 'first hearing on that
issue' and said 'I was the one that started it all.'" (Ceci Connolly,
The Washington Post, December 2, 1999).
"But yesterday, the Democratic presidential candidate called
an Associated Press reporter in upstate New York to play down his role and
applaud local residents of the Niagara neighborhood who fought the long
battle against the waste site." (Ceci Connolly, The Washington Post,
December 2, 1999).
"'If anybody got the misimpression that I claimed to do what
citizens in Love Canal did, I apologize,' Gore said in a telephone interview
he initiated." (Ceci Connolly, The Washington Post, December 2,
1999).
"As a junior House member, Gore held hearings in 1978 on the
dangers of chemical contamination - two months after residents evacuated
Love Canal" (Ceci Connolly, The Washington Post, December 2, 1999).
