...also important to stay in touch. I mean, I talk to Vice President Cheney all the time. There's no big decision made without aides conferring with me. And that's one of the characteristics of a good chief executive officer or a President. Somebody who can decide. You look at the facts, you delegate and you make decisions. And then you expect everyone, once the decision is made, to march forward as a team...
...would destroy them as well as Bush. In the 50-50 Senate, the decision about which way to go will be made by Tom Daschle, the mild-mannered, tough-minded Democratic leader. While bitter power-sharing negotiations continue between Daschle and majority leader Trent Lott, revenge fantasies focus on Cheney, the tie-breaking Republican vote. The Vice President-elect now has two offices on Capitol Hill, the traditional one on the Senate side and a cubbyhole on the House side that Hastert gave him as a courtesy.

Bush's "serenity" over that period occasionally bordered on what seemed like total detachment. He spent days out at his ranch in remote Crawford, Texas, hacking away at cedar undergrowth.

...with many things in this administration, the lead may well be taken by the new vice president. Dick Cheney is not one of those namby-pamby anti-gourmands.

But not Cheney - in the space of the last five years, he fearlessly gained 40 pounds, displaying a trencherman?s appetite for life and an admirable disdain for cardiologists and Surgeon Generals whining about moderation. And even after his pre-election heart scare, Cheney was seen in post-election/pre-concession Washington wolfing down fried chicken while...
...Bush-Cheney transition team has moved at lightning speed identifying and nominating candidates to top government posts. Wednesday, Bush called upon two Republican officials and two private citizens to join his team. Paul O'Neill got the first call, nominated for treasury secretary. Though seen as something of a Washington outsider, O'Neill, most recently chairman of the Alcoa Corporation, served for a decade in the Office of Management and Budget in the '60s and '70s. His work under Gerald Ford introduced him to then-White House chief of staff Dick Cheney...
