When the 10,000-sq.-ft. Loews Coronado Bay Resort opens in San Diego next January, it will feature a spa for teenagers offering temporary hair coloring, body jewelry and fitness classes.

(The next day the White House announced it is suspending legal proceedings against all Britons being held at Guantánamo Bay until officials from both countries discuss the cases.) For Bush, that even temper demonstrates far more than grace under pressure. "I've heard it called cojones," says a senior White House official. "Blair's got the fortitude.
