...nobody seemed to care. Green is the most quotable Democrat in town, but when reporters approached him at the breakfast, they only wanted to talk about the short, wispy-haired man who showed up 10 minutes later: billionaire media mogul Michael Bloomberg, 59, the political novice who created a minor sensation last week by announcing as a Republican candidate for mayor. "He's the flavor of the half-day," sniffed Green. "I don't think about him at all." But throughout the breakfast, Green was ignored--while Bloomberg had photographers camping at his feet...

...Still, many of Bush's problems are of his own making. He may want to take a lesson from his own turnabout on North Korea. Having come into office with the operating assumption that whatever the Clinton administration did must have been wrong, he had caused a minor diplomatic crisis a few weeks into the job by declaring he had no intention of continuing his predecessor's negotiations with North Korea. Last week, he reversed that position, reportedly under parental guidance. In the same spirit, President Bush may want to recognize that the hostility he faces in Europe is directed...
