Barbara Bush, author on tour, is a lot more interesting than the old one. She discloses that she was so depressed for a six-month period in 1976 that she felt like driving into a tree. She adds,"It was the kids' being gone and menopause. Today I would take chemicals to help me through." For the first time she talks poignantly about a Mother Problem. She regrets that her mother, who had everything, "wanted this, had to have that, didn't know how well...
...again!" Barry turned, a green campaign poster in one hand and a staple gun in the other, and acknowledged the endorsement with a smile. Across the street Kevin Britton, an elementary-school gym teacher, explained that he too wants the former three- term mayor back.

I don't consider it as an act of evil of any kind...
...invasion ultimately would require 15,000 to 20,000 U.S. troops and a six-month American presence, according to Leon Edney, the retired Navy admiral who, as commander of all U.S. Atlantic forces, was responsible for Haiti when President Jean-Bertrand Aristide was overthrown nearly three years ago. Haiti's military "hardly warrants the name," a Pentagon planner says; its 7,500 troops are ill-trained and poorly equipped, and they are expected to offer little overt resistance.
