...announcement lifted the lid from a pre-campaign that has been simmering for nearly a year, during which time Bush and his small Texas operation have assembled a cadre of top-flight policy advisers, locked in major donors from around the country and stirred up so much giddy anticipation among G.O.P. activists that there is already wild talk about Bush's invincibility.

But there was something not quite right about the group of more than 100 Hispanics boarding Delta's Flight 1800, a red-eye to Atlanta, on Tuesday, Feb. 16.

Deanja Walther, 26, a Swiss flight attendant who speaks French, stayed with the English-speaking hostages even though the Hutus let the French-speaking tourists remain at the camp. Walther, who last September was supposed to work aboard the ill-fated Swissair Flight 111, was ultimately spared. Some of the terrified survivors left the park...
