...famous nicknames as we chatted in his chartered plane. He has given them to reporters who have been faithfully covering his campaign: "Dulce" is CNN's Candy Crowley; "Stretch" belongs to the very tall David Gregory of NBC. Unlike them, Bush said, "you're one of those bigfoots who drop in for a day and then get to spend the night in your...
...left engines suggest that they still could have been providing some power, but clearly not enough. A significant loss of thrust on the left side not only pushes the plane left (because the right engines are the only ones pushing forward) but also causes the dead engine wing to drop. As the Concorde struggled to gain altitude, its dead wing began acting like a weight, slowly turning the plane left.

There's about as much drama here as in the annual Rockefeller Center Christmas tree-lighting ceremony (I mean, imagine if those balloons don't all drop just as the nominee finishes his speech...).

He'd be risking it with a woman, because this is still a country that elects men to its highest office. Would he drop a bomb like Jesse Ventura, thinking he could harness him? Maybe he'll convince natty banker Robert Rubin to live off his book deal for a few years...
