I<< Page 40 of the Nov. 26 "Newsweek" shows President Bush meeting with Putin
 at the ranch in Texas.  Clearly visible on the coffee table next to them is
 a book, "Birds of Texas".  Good, but I don't know what significance this
 really has.  More than I think it does, I hope.  >>

The First Lady is a birdwatcher.   I think she even enrolled the White House
in Operation NestWatch, a program of the Smithsonian Enviro Ed Center to band
backyard birds and enlist the homeowners to keep track of them from year to
year.  I believe W only watches birds through the crosshairs.
