...Defense: Pennsylvania governor Tom Ridge was ruled out as too moderate; former Indiana Senator Dan Coats didn't wow Bush in a meeting last week; Reagan-era Pentagon aide Paul Wolfowitz is regarded more as policy expert than top-down manager.

When he enrolled at the University of Redlands and learned that classes consumed only 14 hours a week, Boies set out to fill the extra time. Although he was married with two children by the end of his sophomore year, he piled on more work (teaching journalism at a nearby mental hospital), then more fun (usually card playing) and more extracurriculars (including, George W.

Coats, who led the charge against gays in the military in 1993, is a favorite of the far-right crowd, but may not be the wonk Bush is looking for.
