[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 2382791, member: 7900"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]From Wikipedia: Vanderbilt and journalism Gore was "dispirited" after his return from Vietnam. The Nashville Post noted that, "his father's defeat made service in a conflict he deeply opposed even more abhorrent to Gore. His experiences in the war zone don't seem to have been deeply traumatic in themselves; although the engineers were sometimes fired upon, Gore has said he didn't see full-scale combat. Still, he felt that his participation in the war was wrong." Although his parents wanted him to go to law school, Gore first attended Vanderbilt University Divinity School from 1971 to 1972 on Rockefeller Foundation scholarship for people planning secular careers. He later said he went there in order to explore "spiritual issues", and that "he had hoped to make sense of the social injustices that seemed to challenge his religious beliefs." Gore also began to work the night shift for The Tennessean as an investigative reporter in 1971. His investigations of corruption among members of Nashville's Metro Council resulted in the arrest and prosecution of two councilmen for separate offenses. [B]He took a leave of absence from The Tennessean [U]to attend Vanderbilt University Law School in 1974[/U].
