...believing the deposed king is in a sinister power push for glory. But as much as anything, the talk will be about how the striped bass are running off the Maine rocks and how much water has collected in the new seven-acre lake built on W.'s Texas ranch. "It's beautiful," injects Barbara. "It has a river running through it, and the trees are wonderful...
...well-bred scion of a political dynasty is a regular guy with a good heart. Whether it's grainy footage in the convention film of Bush's childhood in Midland, Texas; a 30-sec. ad featuring Bush behind the wheel of a beat-up Ford Bronco on his dusty ranch outside Waco; or a candid moment at home when he and his wife Laura share a laugh at his expense, the point will be the same: that Bush, with his sunny optimism and persuasive charm, is the antidote to eight years of duplicity and partisan bickering in Washington...

But not anymore. Every morning now, when her husband Robert checks the cattle on their 500-acre spread near the border at Douglas, Ariz., he sees "heads poppin' up all over in the mesquite bushes," says Helen. Several times, bands of illegal immigrants tried to steal their pick-up and break into the Hoffmans' house under the tall cottonwoods...
