Like many candidate followers, Correspondent Doug Brew, our man with George Bush, has become a connoisseur of campaign airplanes. "They can be a measure of the candidate's progress," he explains. Before Iowa, Brew observes, "Bush was flying commercial airlines with only a few reporters along. Now the press corps numbers up to 20, so Bush has rented a comfortable 28-seat plane."
