...Bush's cautious "stewardship" of the nation is part of the conservatives' problem. He has pleased the right with his rear-guard defense of Reaganomics and delighted it with his invasion of Panama. But he temporizes on many other visceral issues, like China policy and abortion. Little is heard from the White House about school prayer or against the feminist agenda.
