...wanted only to exist in the extreme bottom right-hand corner of his own panels - where it said "Schulz." He wanted to limit himself to being that little scribble. If he could draw his four panels a day, sign himself "Schulz," close up shop and go home, all would be well...

He has also stretched his arms to embrace the two flanks of his party, represented on the GOP's left by Christine Whitman (who is heading for the the EPA) and on the right by John Ashcroft, who Bush named last week to be his attorney general. Bush had been thinking about Ashcroft for nearly a month, but a senior Bush official told TIME.com on Saturday that the more moderate the Cabinet became last week, the more sense it made to mollify conservatives...
