...John W. Snow at Treasury is one of the blasts from the past. Former chief executive officer of CSX Corporation, a large railway and shipping company based in Richmond, Va., Snow first joined the government in the Ford administration. Although as a business leader he has stressed the importance of balancing the budget, he has recently begun to tow Bush’s policy line and has almost magically become an outspoken advocate of slashing taxes for corporations and individuals, even if that means running short-term deficits...
...plays, played to type by reading aloud from Martha Stewart’s personal monthly calendar, as printed in Martha Stewart Living. Martha won’t be available for holiday parties on Sunday, Dec. 22, as she intends to cross-country ski, “if there is snow.” Ryuji Yamaguchi, dancer extraordinaire, treated the crowd to an exposition of physical strength and agility. Yamaguchi balanced a chair on his face and then juggled apples, eating them as an encore...

And so, as the new keys to the Bush economic message, Snow, Donaldson and Friedman are our People...
...John Snow, Bush's nominee for Treasury Secretary and chair of railroad freight company CSX, is expected to toe the line on tax cuts. That's not to say he doesn't make some supply-siders nervous; fiscal conservatives reportedly fear he may not believe fiercely enough in the tax-cut gospel Bush will ask him to spread. Further complicating matters, Snow, who is known for his distaste for deficits will have to make the case that a national debt isn't so bad after all. Still, the White House is reportedly delighted with Snow...
