Bush's adviser Lindsey is a good friend of the Fed chairman's. So are Cheney and Paul O'Neill, Bush's choice as Treasury Secretary. Both worked with Greenspan in Gerald Ford's White House. All of them will be going to work on Greenspan to persuade him that Congress would simply spend the surplus before it can be used for bill paying. And George W., whose father had notoriously frosty relations with Greenspan, has gone out of his way to court the chairman. A few weeks ago, after their get-acquainted meeting in Washington, he even squeezed...
...along, you had to figure George W. Bush wasn't going to lure his Democratic Cabinet member from the working Senate or House, not with the margins of power as slender as they are in 2001. And Democrats from the Ford, Reagan or Bush administrations were few and far between.

Instead of paying attention to them, most folks watched some fascinating scenes roll past: thousands of anti-globalization protesters disrupting a World Bank conference in Washington; Ford and Firestone executives blaming one another for a string of auto fatalities; Bill Clinton taking a last, slow lap around the presidential track as his wife Hillary Rodham Clinton made her first successful run for public office. Finally, the presidential campaign that everyone thought was boring suddenly became...
...Just as graphic as the IMF protests, and hitting closer to home, was the violence associated with the Firestone tire problem. On Aug. 9 the U.S. subsidiary of Japan's Bridgestone Corp. said it was voluntarily recalling 6.5 million Firestone tires owing to safety concerns. If you owned a Ford Explorer, the country's best-selling SUV, you probably had the tires in question. Accidents caused by shreddings had already contributed to at least 46 deaths, an estimate that climbed to more than 100 by year's end, as both Ford and Firestone came under attack.
