ITHACA, N.Y. -- Some pundits are predicting that Ralph Nader could be President Bill Clinton's nemesis come November. Members of the Cornell University and Ithaca communities can make that judgment for themselves on Tuesday, April 23, at 8 p.m., when the consumer advocate, lawyer and presidential hopeful gives a lecture in Cornell's Bailey Hall. Tickets are $3 for Cornell students and $5 for the general public and are on sale at the Willard Straight Hall box office. According to recent editorials in The New York Times and Time magazine, Nader, who has announced his intention to run for president on the Green Party ticket, could cost Clinton much-needed votes in California -- and thereby hand victory in that critical state over to Republican challenger Sen. Bob Dole (R-Kan).
