...stared into the candidate's eyes, the other hopefuls didn't have what Dick Cheney had: a spot in George W. Bush's comfort zone. To be sure, Bush wanted a running mate who was ready to be President. But just as important was a partner who would be loyal--someone, as Bush said more than once, "who likes...
...campaign for the White House was gearing up, then Vice President Bush summoned his son to Washington to help keep an eye on things and make sure everyone was loyal, especially the wily genius campaign guru Lee Atwater. W. was going nowhere in Texas, so he came up, brought the family, moved into a town house not far from the old family place in Spring Valley and took an office downtown at the shabby campaign headquarters.

Voters might like looking ahead instead of feeling like they've got no other alternative to more Clinton/Gore than more Reagan/Bush...
...exclusive interview with TIME this week, Berezovsky set out the aims of what he insists will be a loyal opposition. It's not that he wants to bring Russia's current order crashing down, it's more that he fears that Putin has chosen a self-destructive path that will bury all of Russia - and therefore the interests of the oligarchs, too - in the debris. Three aspects of Putin's policies concern Berezovsky...
