There is a serious mistake in the ''Boston Globe'' article linked at the bottom. Tex Ritter was running in the Republican Primary against Brock to oppose Gore, not in the Democratic Primary against Gore, when he dubbed him "The gray fox of Tennessee politics." |

KKK?
I heard somewhere that he was briefly involved with the KKK. Can this be confirmed?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.132.15.213 (talk • contribs) 13 February 2006.

Correct parent? Also audio.
1) Was Al Sr. not the son of Judge John Gore of Jackson Co. Tenn., prominent in 1910s-20s in Nashville? I see his father as Allen here -- possibly correct, and not something I have time to check at the moment, but I was always under the impression he was the son of the Judge. I know the Senator was born in Granville, the would-be riverboat town at on the Cumberland near Carthage where my grandmother grew up.
2) I have recently found and digitized a tape of an interview I did with the elder Sen. Gore by phone during the 1992 presidential campaign. The topic was when and how his son developed the will to move from journalism to public life. The int runs 30+ minutes and is a large mp3 file. I own all rights to it, but I don't know whether its size might violate any rules on wikipedia. I can put it on my own site if need be.

- In order to post the file on Wikipedia, you would need to release it under a free license, i.e. you would need to grant permission for anyone to reuse the material, even for commercial purposes. Also, I'm not sure how "encyclopedic" such material would be, so it may be a better idea for you to host the file yourself and simply link to it as an external link. Kaldari 23:25, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
