...Zell Miller and John Breaux, not only applauded when other Democrats sat on their hands, but even gave several standing ovations. Across the aisle, Bush's cabinet tried to soften its image. John Ashcroft and Christine Todd Whitman applauded the end of racial profiling as if he hadn't spoken at Bob Jones University and she hadn't posed for pictures while smiling and frisking a black man. From the podium, Bush too sent messages. His attempts at bipartisanship included announcing new funds to fight cancer and making everybody clap for cancer-stricken John Moakly.

Bush's agenda. It would be a bold, triumphant new life...
That-a LUCIANO PAVAROTTI, he's-a so crazy! At a London press conference to announce a charity concert in Hyde Park, the tenor revealed that he hopes to duet with some special guests--more special even than Placido Domingo and that other tenor guy. "I have spoken to MADONNA and Paul McCartney," said Pavarotti, 65. "I would love to sing with them, as they are the best--and I'm not bad myself--but we don't know yet if that will happen. Madonna has a very clear idea. She promised she would come if we could sing together...
