Laura Bush

Mike Bloomberg Will Be Available for Laura Bush

Mike Bloomberg and Schools Chancellor Joel Klein will be joined by Laura Bush at an elementary school in Manhattan tomorrow to make an announcement about library grants, according to the mayor's public schedule.

When President Bush visited an elementary school in Harlem last month, Bloomberg just happened to be in Mexico.

All of which could be seen, if we're looking for some deeper meaning here, as an indication of who the more popular Bush is in the White House right now.

Time Warner Dispatch

A tidbit from the meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative at the Time Warner Center today: Laura Bush will participate in September's second Davos-on-Hudson.

Murdoch will be there too, of course. And the main underwriter, again, is Tom Golisano, incongruously seated front and center between his wife and Democratic partisan warrior John Podesta.

WOOD WAR XXXIX

NYP020806.gifNDN020806.jpg

Both tabs give a half-page to Coretta Scott King's memorial, each in its house style. The News presents a full panorama of the assembled presidents and first ladies, under a small-caps headline--dignified, neatly composed, and indecipherable from more than two feet away. The Post chops the same visual idea to its essence--George W. Bush, Laura Bush, Bill Clinton--and pops out a snappier headline, in a more readable font.

But on its lower half, the Post gets too brisk for its own good, compressing its local-news story to an indecipherable squib. The news is that a teenager phoned LGA with a bomb threat because she was running late for her flight. The Post burns two of its eight words--"LOVE" and "Beau"--on the tangential point that she was flying off to chase around after her boyfriend. It's not just in the dictionary where WHAT comes before WHY, fellas!

"PERV ATTACKS MED STUDENT," on the other hand, couldn't be any clearer.  read more »
