The tipoff came when the Bush people said the speech would be a "defining moment." That was what they had called the gulf war this time last year -- a "defining moment" -- and now they were recycling it to ballyhoo a speech. They didn't even have any new phrases, for Pete's sake. How could they possibly have a new idea? Applying "defining moment" to that perennial brain-glazer, the State of the Union speech, should have told us how things stood: to wit, that this outfit is so sure it's home safe for another four years that it doesn't even feel the need for fresh bluster, much less a fresh thought.

He led his team in hits, runs and games played and was second in batting, home runs and runs batted in among the regulars. Indeed, if his team were, say, the Minnesota Twins or even the Toronto Blue Jays, second baseman CARLOS BAERGA might find himself being toasted during the off season as a future Hall of Famer. Alas, he plays for the Cleveland Indians, so Baerga, who hit .288 with 11 home runs and 69 runs batted in, has had to settle for being named the best player on the worst team in the major leagues.

State of the Children
Date: 02 February 1992
A phrase that used to appear on report cards applies aptly to President Bush on issues affecting children: "does not live up to potential." Mr. Bush has pushed way ahead of his predecessor -- but he's not yet leading the parade. Consider last week's State of the Union speech. As he did last year, Mr. Bush rightly asked for a sizable increase in funding for childhood immunization programs. He also asked for a big boost in the nutrition program called WIC (for Women, Infants and Children). That's still not enough to enroll every eligible child, but at least WIC can now cover all eligible pregnant women and infants.
