A standing-room only crowd was deferential to former U.S. Sen. Howard H. Baker Jr. at an environmental conference on the Clean Air Act, but attendees loved former Vice President Al Gore.
For a brief time in an otherwise serious meeting, the conference had the hallmarks of a political event - with both men receiving standing ovations and applause. Gore also received thunderous cheers.
And when Gore completed his hour-plus presentation, he attempted to leave but was surrounded by students, retirees, educators and others to the point he could barely move.
