...U.S.S.R. The U.S. dragged its feet in recognizing their independence, and Bush's critics wondered why he had taken so long.

San Franciscans rely on the clubhouse newspaper, the Chronicle ("comical" to locals), whose existence depends almost solely on Herb Caen, 75, America's longest-running columnist (circa 1938), and whose chief function is the nurturing of San Francisco's insatiable narcissism. The Chron's competitor, Hearst's Examiner, is hardly better, specializing in the scandalous activities of local politicians...
