“Young writers can go outside of their
own lives, find out amazing things and
turn them into compelling fiction,”
Wolfe said.
He attributed his own success to “the
conviction that I was right - my
approach was the right one. That’s a
good conviction to have, whether you
are right or wrong.”
Since the 19605, Tom Wolfe has led a
movement known as the new journal

“I have kept my word," said Gore,
who has served as Bill Clinton’s vice
president for two terms. He mentioned
his service in Vietnam and a strong mar

eight years have brought economic pros
perity and reduced crime. “I’ll make you
one promise here. You ain’t seen nothing
yet, and I will keep that promise.”

Congratulations. All the cramming, insomnia and junk food breakfasts have paid off. You're in college
now —and soon, you'll be facing questions about your life. Like what to do with the rest of it.
One thing is for sure, if you're a student of color, with an INROADS internship you could have a serious job
every summer while you're still in school- making contacts and gaining experience in your chosen field of
study. Hey, it won't be easy, but then again if you wanted it easy, you wouldn't be reading this right now.

His novels, 1987’s “Bonfire” and
1998’s “A Man in Full," both of which
share a large scope and intense realism
with the novels of Thomas Wolfe, were
enthusiastically received by the public
and critics. His newest work, an anthol

“Hooking Up,” will be available later
this month.

Gore has slipped slightly in the polls

“I find it immensely flattering,” he
said, pausing to sign an admissions

“If you want someone who will support
... the big drug companies, this is your
man,” Gore said of Bush, standing only a
few feet from his campaign rival. “If you
want someone who will fight for you ...
then I want to fight for you.”
Most polls show Bush ahead of the
vice president by a scant point or two,
and the debate at the field house at
Washington University represented the
last, best chance to gain the support of
a large critical bloc of undecided voters.

Gary Phillips echoed Foy’s concerns. He
said CP&L should be accountable to the
public and not worry about profits. He
also condemned its lobbying tactics.
“It’s difficult in North Carolina to go

CP&L represents that at the absolute
highest level,” Phillips said.

Bolton said if CP&L is divulging the
truth, then it should not have a problem
facing public scrutiny.
But Hughes said N.C. WARN and
the coalition have had numerous
chances to voice their concerns. “There
have been a number of public hearings
and a number of public meetings,”
Hughes said. “CP&L has held no fewer
than 90 meetings of local governments.”
Hughes said CP&L also has held
open houses and public forums. He
cited an example of CP&L’s willingness
to hold open debate.
“There were several people critical of
our plan, but they came and had their
