Al, Tipper Gore Shock Friends With Divorce Announcement
After 40 Years of Marriage, Observers Search for Clues Behind Gores' Separation



Fraught with political symbolism, it was a kiss, which seemed far longer than it actually lasted and telegraphed to the country that this was a man and wife whose long commitment to each other could restore to the White House a sense of propriety lost during Bill Clinton's tenure.

For all its symbolism, that kiss did not get Al Gore to the White House. And for all its passion it could not keep the Gores together.

After 40 years of marriage, the high school sweethearts announced Tuesday they would divorce, shocking friends and observers, who long considered the couple one of the Beltway's most happily married.
