Al and Tipper Gore's Split: Why I'm Not Sad
By Delia Lloyd - Politics DailyI think it's best if I just come out and say this up front: I'm not really sad that Al and Tipper Gore split up. Yes, I know. I'm an outlier. Nearly everyone I know -- and certainly everyone I'm reading -- is outright depressed by this separation. Don't get me wrong. I think it's a shame.

Al and Tipper Gore's Love Story: We Thought You'd Never Part
By Melinda Henneberger - Politics DailyA decade ago, during one of a number of interviews with Al Gore for a biographical series I was writing for The New York Times, I mentioned to the vice president that I had interviewed his wife earlier that same day, and he lit up: "Isn't she cool?" Even his parents, he said, had a less formative influence on him than Tipper had in the years since they'd met at his high school prom. "It's clearly the most important relationship I've ever had with anyone, bar none," he told me that day. "Even at a young age, she helped me understand things I never would have been able to understand otherwise. ...
Al and Tipper Gore: Chronology of a Marriage
By David Knowles - Politics DailyAccording to reports, Al and Tipper Gore have decided to formally separate after 40 years of marriage. Over that time, highlights of their union -- part fairy tale, part scripted drama -- have played out in the public square. First Encounter According to Mrs. Gore, she met Al the night of his high school graduation dance in 1965. "It was like everyone else melted away," she wrote. Wedding The Gores were married on May 19, 1970 at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. The Beatles' classic "All You Need is Love" was played on the church's massive pipe organ.
