...words but also a showcase for TIME's extraordinary photographers, and they had a privileged view of the year's biggest story. WILLIAM COUPON, who has done portraits of six previous Presidents for TIME, took the cover shot of George W. Bush at the Governor's Mansion in Austin, Texas, on Monday, Dec. 4, minutes after he got word of the U.S. Supreme Court's first decision in his favor. That put Bush in an upbeat mood, and Coupon found him to be a relaxed and cooperative subject, especially contrasted with some past ones. "Clinton wanted to appear a certain...
...next day when the U.S. Supreme Court proved Rove correct, at least for the short term, no one in Austin or in McLean, Va., where the Bush transition team has its headquarters, had the strength to celebrate. "We're too scarred for that," says an aide. They felt a whiff of excitement and boatloads of relief. Dick Cheney was at the movies when the news broke.

Louisiana Democratic Sen. John Breaux flew to Austin Friday and the first words out of his mouth during a lunch with George W. Bush were "I want to stay in the Senate" and not join the president elect's cabinet as energy secretary. But Breaux did use the lunch to make a plug for his Louisiana buddy, former Democratic Sen.

Johnston shares Bush's views on energy policy. "If you want to have...
