Sir, - Could Vice-President Gore's Internet possibly have come up with less inspiring electoral choices than himself and Governor Bush? The former is ridiculous and dull; the latter is ridiculous and dangerous. Isn't it appropriate, then, that the result should be ridiculous, the prospect of prolonging the ennui for another week should be dull, and the ultimate consequences for democracy be dangerous? God help America. - Yours, etc.,
Brian McGrath, Brewery Road, Blackrock, Co Dublin.
