...summing-up in words but also a showcase for TIME's extraordinary photographers, and they had a privileged view of the year's biggest story. WILLIAM COUPON, who has done portraits of six previous Presidents for TIME, took the cover shot of George W.

...Year's before we have a President-elect. But if George W. Bush wins, the White House will look more Wild West than West Wing. Just witness how the Bushes decked the halls of the Governor's Mansion in Austin. With spurs in the garland and a cowboy Santa, Dubya's decor is a far cry from the "Holiday Reflections" theme on Pennsylvania Avenue. Wonder if next year's White House Santa will have to giddyap...
