...trials of 1988 looming, Bush sat in his White House office, legs stretched out in front of him, sipping a cup of Chinese tea. At 62, the Vice President is remarkably fit. His ruddy face is unlined, his hair only slightly gray. Dark blue eyes focused intently through his rimless aviator glasses. Bush was unruffled as he listened to questions / about his political nerve. "I know inside," he said, quietly tapping his chest, "I've got a lot of fiber here." He conceded he had been somewhat excessive in wooing conservatives but felt comfortable with it. There was, after...

Among them was a sentence he had noted on hearing Brezhnev utter it the day before: "God will not forgive...
...tall, gray-haired man in rimless glasses standing by the Pleasant Valley bench smiles happily. He is Hugo Verbruggen, M.D., Ph.D., fellow of the American College of Surgeons and of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, a distinguished doctor who acts as team physician to the Bears because his son once Clayed football with them. Dr. Verbruggen sees the game of football from a slightly different perspective. "It rained a few days ago," he remarks. "The field has dried out enough for good footing, but the ground is still nice and soft. You don't get as many injuries...
