...budget deal as the biggest mistake of his presidency. "If I had that to do over, I wouldn't do it," Bush told an interviewer from the Atlanta Journal. To a local television station, Bush added, "Anytime you get hammered on something, I guess you want to redo it." Democrats seized on the stunning reversal to charge the President with an abject lack of conviction. "People are concerned about presidential leadership," said House Budget chairman Leon Panetta. "They don't want a President who says he's sorry every two days...
...show's dark tone has apparently given ABC executives some nervous moments. They reportedly asked Bochco to redo the first episode, adding some comic relief; it now contains a subplot about a woman seeking a divorce because her husband thinks he's Elvis.

"I believe I as an individual can replicate the forest, redo it like a farmer growing a crop and do it better than nature," he says. "I can remake the old forest the same way nature did, only quicker." Talk like that riles environmentalists, who see the forest as more than just another fungible asset. Steve Erickson, whose father was in the timber industry and whose brother works in a mill, is writing a book about hiking trails. But Erickson finds...
