...enough that the Chinese were holding the crew and autopsying the plane; then Jiang stepped forward to charge that the U.S. was fully responsible for the crash and owed China an apology. White House spokesman Ari Fleischer flatly ruled out any such thing, and not just because being a superpower means never having to say you're sorry. The U.S. was more than willing to apologize for accidentally bombing the Chinese embassy in Belgrade two years ago. But in the case of this collision, the near instant consensus among U.S. military pilots was that if anyone was at fault...

With his training equipment installed in the White House, the President takes time nearly every day to feel the burn. We asked Fleischer to get details of the regimen from the Boss himself. Americans can sleep at night knowing our leader can kick any other leader's butt...
...postelection break to the Florida fiasco--are being told they must take time off. Card needles his staff members daily, insisting they submit vacation schedules as proof that they are headed for the BarcaLounger. The forced march has turned some victims downright mawkish. "It's wonderful," says press secretary ARI FLEISCHER, who will attend the New York Yankees' opening day. "It's human. It's normal." Next: enforced yoga...
