The article presents information about political developments and other issues related to the U.S. It took twelve years for the Food and Drug Administration to approve mifepristone, also known as RU-486, an abortion method. Still, this decision is a tremendous victory for U.S. women. The first debate between Albert Gore and George Bush Jr., reflected the narrow parameters of the campaign, with both of them jabbing at each other on issues as a drug prescription plan for the elderly, Social Security and education. The old politics of oil has resurfaced to add a nervous flutter to Election 2000 and also to revive an enduring question of modern industrial life about the right price for oil.
