| Tax-Cut Embroidery To the Editor: Paul Krugman is right when he laughs at the Bush administration's attempt to sell the tax cut for all reasons (column, May 16). But there is a bigger issue at stake. Last summer, a major problem for Al Gore's candidacy was his alleged embellishment of stories involving him.
