...word of the tragedy. Others drifted with the current as far as 20 miles out to sea and into shark-filled waters. Some of the victims might have been saved had prompt measures been taken after Rubio's alert. Yet military authorities, complained Civil Defense Director Cabral, did not respond to his call for rescue helicopters. In a desperate effort to locate the survivors himself, he commandeered a private plane, from which he watched the sickening scene.

And suddenly Bush is no longer alone on the battlefield. Other mortals have become targets. Bush can sound silly -- using phrases like "deep doo-doo" and telling reporters last week after visiting Poland that Soviet tanks rarely break down and the workers who make them should be sent to Detroit "because we could use that kind of ability."
