...world institution to show your little treasures, or 380 of them, which is what the High Museum of Art in Atlanta is doing with John's photographs, until Jan. 28. However much exhibits like this may be a public service, they are also a venerable form of donor courtship. It's fair to say that the trustees of the High wouldn't mind if Sir Elton were to will them every bit of this collection someday. (They must hold their breath every time he tells the press how much he would love to see a photography museum established in London...
...between the two men discussing litigation reform. By the end of that evening, Bush was on the phone again offering a compromise. "Bullock got back on and said, 'You're the greatest ever,'" says Sibley. Though the two later clashed on taxes and other issues, Bush kept at the courtship.

Bush's double-digit lead of a month ago had deserted him, thanks largely to female voters carpooling home to the Democrats. Even Bush couldn't defy the rules of courtship forever: in times of peace and prosperity, it takes more than a sunny disposition to persuade voters to dump their dates. Bush's flawless postprimary campaign obscured the fact that by any historical measure, he never should have been that far ahead in the first place. While Gore did help himself with...
