"The fact is that George Bush's record on the environment in Texas is horrible," he said in an interview on CNN. "They have the most toxically polluted air in America. Houston is the dirtiest city.

The winners in the fashion stakes were definitely, and hardly surprisingly, the Italians, who went for simple, classic style with a twist. Both men and women wore elegantly cut dark jackets over trousers or skirts in half a dozen bold colors. The ensemble effect was striking and bright while still looking classy...
