Bush advisers and Capitol Hill Republicans say Rove has laid out a plan--in a series of memos and calendars--for the boss's first four weeks. In his first legislative act, on Tuesday, Bush plans to send Congress a package of education reforms that would require states to test students, promote character and abstinence programs, and give parents of kids in failing public schools vouchers that they can use to help pay tuition at private and parochial schools. Next week Bush will introduce legislation on another signature issue, a proposal to funnel federal funds to community- and faith-based...
...years that George W. Bush was governor of Texas I was editor of Texas Monthly, a position that allowed me to watch the stages of his political metamorphosis. I first met him when Karl Rove, who would later run Bush's campaign for president and is now a Bush adviser in the White House, called to say that Bush was going to run for governor and wanted to talk with me.

Bush would like to have his three top Texas loyalists close by in the White House: political guru Karl Rove, press attache Karen Hughes and operations chief Joe Allbaugh--if he can get him to come. (Allbaugh, who isn't keen to move to D.C., joked to TIME recently that he was "looking for lottery numbers so I can tell the Governor to 'Go to hell.'") Bush's alter ego, Don Evans, a friend going back 25 years, will probably...
