...April, Bush and Clinton went to the Pope's funeral together, trading stories almost nonstop on the plane ride over, a cabinmate reports. And then Clinton flew to Maine in June for a weekend of wall-to-wall recreation. Bush was so excited about Clinton's arrival that he volunteered to pilot his three-engine speedboat about 30 miles up the coast from Kennebunkport to pick him up in person at the Portland airport. (Fog, in the end, upended that plan.) When Clinton finally arrived, Bush had him out to sea within minutes, an experience that Clinton likened to "levitation...
...really loud," De'Monte says of his first helicopter ride, "and when I looked down, I saw all the houses under water. The little kids were crying a lot. But I didn't cry."

But only Bono can make them sing...
...House minority leader, Nancy Pelosi can appoint people to high-level commissions and direct millions of federal dollars to her district. But the lawmaker from San Francisco can't pick her own car. For security reasons, congressional leaders are required to ride in vans or sport-utility vehicles driven by Capitol Hill police. Pelosi, worried about environmental impact, is no longer content to ride in a gas-guzzling black Chevy Suburban. "I want a hybrid," she told TIME last week. A few Governors and mayors have already switched to hybrid cars for their official use. But so far, Pelosi says...
