George Bush gave Pakistan's Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto a sweet-smelling gift at the end of her first official trip to Washington last week: an American beauty rosebush. Accepting the memento, Bhutto told the President that the roses would serve as a reminder of her "supportive visit" to Washington. She might have added that, while the atmosphere surrounding her meetings with U.S. officials was cordial, both sides went to considerable effort to avoid the thornier aspects of their relationship...
Like many gardeners, I am rather a bungler. I know very little about pH soil tests. I think I know how to prune a rosebush, but the rosebush may think otherwise. I learned from my father the basic rules of mulching and thinning -- how to stake out the tomatoes, how to make the peas climb up the chicken wire, how to bind up the raspberries -- but the techniques that worked in the fertile hills of Vermont do not necessarily work in the sands of Long Island.

The timing and destinations of her antidrug excursions last year were coordinated with Reagan-Bush campaign officials to satisfy their particular political needs. But the image molders learned they were dealing with a social problem...
...arrival at the Caldarusani Monastery, 25 miles from the capital. Tennis Star Vitas Gerulaitis, arriving on foot, has to fight his way in as three priests and two Orthodox bishops preside over hourlong rites. "We are being trampled!" shouts Borg's mother, as she is shoved toward a rosebush on her way out. But the crowd is delighted with the dazzling scene: the world's finest tennis player and, at his side, a native daughter, radiant in a jewel-encrusted gown by Tenniswear Couturier Ted Tinling; it cost, they say, $8,000-four times the average Rumanian...
