...WASPish prep school grad Tabitha G. Filney 02 will be spending the weekend at the Connecticut estate of Andover classmate Q. Danforth J. Harriman IV (Yale 02).

Though Cheney was now the certain choice, Bush went ahead with the three- hour July 18 meeting in Chicago with Danforth. Cheney excused himself after an hour and a half, leaving the two men to discuss their faith and their governing philosophies. Danforth's wife even quizzed the candidate about his beliefs. After the meeting was over, Danforth told Cheney he would serve if asked. But Bush never asked. The next morning, he called Cheney and formally offered him the spot...
