One reporter wonders whether the Secret Service has checked under the hoopskirts: "You could hide a Stinger missile in there." Bruce Zanca, a Bush advanceman, uses a ramp phone resting on the runway to call Air Force Two. The telephone is one of the 101 special phone lines that will be installed for the Bush entourage that day at Government expense...

"Al Capone!" exclaimed Japanese Speed Skater Atsushi Akasaka, 20, who has no English. It looked a little like a jolly bootlegger's funeral...
...macademia nuts by rats--to the seriously expensive--$25 million for an unneeded new airport in Fort Worth near the home territory Speaker of the House Jim Wright. In the several-thousand pages of an omnibus appropriations bill, these expenditures can be shielded from constituents, and congressmen can hide their support for these perks by claiming that they voted for the whole package, not individual appropriations...
