...classic from the Reagan era, the Bush Administration may leave a rich legacy of redefining terms for regulatory purposes. Perhaps you thought a wild fish is one hatched in the wild. You would be mistaken, according to Bush's environmental stewards.

By the time he married Glenda Klingensmith eight years ago and moved to her farm in Noblesville, Ind., Ferguson, now 52, was hooked on homemade salsa--so much so that he started planting jalapenos, habaneros, red chilis, Anaheims and sweet banana peppers. "Glenda goes, 'What are we going to do with all these peppers?'" recalls Ferguson. His response: make salsa--lots and lots...
