...didn't watch the hand counts start back up on TV; he wasn't constantly on the phone needling aides for updates throughout the morning. He took a long walk. But by midafternoon he was driving his Chevy Suburban around the 1,600-acre ranch when campaign chairman Don Evans called with word of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to shut the recounts down. "Great news," said Bush. "Fantastic." The original decision to petition the Supremes three weeks ago had been his; some advisers warned that he might not want them involved, but he had felt their judgment...

The six straight interest-rate hikes he engineered from June 1999 to May 2000 have guided the economy into its present "soft landing." Those rate increases, designed to keep the expansion from overheating, slowed growth from a blistering 5.6% in the second quarter of this year to just 2.4% in the third.
