...Standing in front of a backdrop of blue-uniformed workers Thursday at a food packaging plant, Bush delivered his speech and took questions in his shirtsleeves. It was chilly in Wisconsin but Bush was trying to look a little more informal and accessible. He used to gig Al Gore for fishing around too much in the wardrobe closet, but as he tweaked his own uniform he was also copying Gore in other ways, by showing himself to be a tireless advocate for the working man.

...Perrier, whose labels include Deer Park, Poland Spring and Calistoga, has a fever to make Wisconsin the Midwest source for its Ice Mountain brand. They're bulling ahead with the blessing of Governor Tommy Thompson and waiting on a state pumping permit that could come any day now. This despite crushing votes against Perrier (by ratios of 4-1 and 3-1) in two referendums and last week's 263-92 recall of New Haven town manager Ed Coon, 66. Coon, speaking in his kitchen, moments before his fate was decided, said he thought it was time to grow...
