Progress continues on the project to produce a scholarly biography of the late Senator Albert Gore, Sr.  Dr. Anthony Badger, Paul Mellon Professor of American History and Master of Clare College, Cambridge University, spent a week in residence September 12-20. Dr. Badger and his former research assistant, Michael Martin, prepared a paper on the 1970 political campaign that Dr. Martin presented at the Tennessee Conference of Historians on September 27.  Other panelists included Dr. Kyle Longley of Arizona State University, author of another biography of Gore, Tennessean political reporter and commentator Larry Daughtrey, and former Senator and Ambassador to China James Sasser.

In August, the Gore Center bade farewell to Michael Martin, who completed his Ph.D. at the University of Arkansas.  Dr. Martin is now Assistant Professor of History at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

Joining the Gore Biography Project as a part-time research assistant is Dr. Sean Smith, who recently completed the Ph.D. in History at Vanderbilt University.
