THE FIRST 100 DAYS 
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW:
(President George W. Bush has now been in office 100 days. We had been planning an assessment of his term so far, but were pleasantly surprised when the President's appointments secretary told us that Mr. Bush would, in fact, submit to an interview, albeit brief. We agreed, as long as no question was off limits.)
Ironic Times: Thank you for granting us this interview. Given your hectic schedule, we were quite surprised, and flattered.
President Bush: My pleasure. I have a little more time now that the Chinese thing is settled.
I/T: Except for the plane itself, of course, which obviously you want returned.
President Bush: You bet we do.
I/T: What are some of the things on your immediate agenda?
President Bush: Well, I'd love to get down to Texas, to the ranch, and then over to Arlington to catch a Rangers game. Hey, A-Rod's startin' to really clobber the ball, isn't he? If we could just get some pitching. Pitching's everything these days, with the new strike zone and all.
(At this point we were told our time was up.)
President Bush: Hey, thanks for comin'.
