...Bush Administration's final years, its reputation touched bottom. Many Americans complained that they had the wrong President. For a time, Bush's approval ratings sank below Richard Nixon's and Jimmy Carter's worst...
...North Africa. At least 11 died in July near the island of Malta, before the latest two incidents. On Sunday, 10 bodies were recovered after a boat with more than 30 immigrants overturned south of Lampedusa. That came a day after a vessel with as many as 120 sank.
