...never been close to the son and even remarked privately that he felt left out as the Bush Restoration unfurled last spring. Then, out of the blue, came the call: Would you like to run the Republican National Convention? Card said yes, but wondered, Who had played matchmaker? Sure enough, George Herbert Walker Bush had quietly nudged his son into giving Card, 53, a tryout. Before long, Dubya liked what he saw. Both behind the scenes and on TV, Card did such a good job organizing a convention with no hard edges and plenty of "new Republican" faces of color...

Bush is sensitive enough about the Restoration label that he is certain to bring in new faces wherever he can. Bush would like to have his three top Texas loyalists close by in the White House: political guru Karl Rove, press attache Karen Hughes and operations chief Joe Allbaugh--if he can get him to come. (Allbaugh, who isn't keen to move to D.C., joked to TIME recently that he was "looking for lottery numbers so I can tell the Governor to 'Go to hell.'") Bush's alter ego, Don Evans, a friend going back 25 years, will probably...
