Al Gore: Son’s accident taught Gore sensitivity & better parenting

[In 1989, Gore’s son, Albert III, suffered a near-fatal traffic accident]. The aftermath of the accident led to Tipper’s treatment for depression. In response to the near-loss of Albert, & perhaps to his wife’s depression, Gore became more conscientious about blocking out time in the schedule for the kids’ school games and birthdays. He also worked at becoming a nicer boss. He made, said one former campaign consultant, “a much more conscious effort, in his own methodical way, to be sensitive to people.”
