  • The Candidates
    The Candidates Family Background Bush Gore Career Highlights Bush Gore Personality and Character Bush Gore Political Communication Lab., Stanford University Family Background USA Today June 15, 2000; Page 1A Not in Their Fathers' Images Bush, Gore Apply Lessons Learned From Losses By SUSAN PAGE WASHINGTON -- George W. Bush and Al Gore share a reverence for their famous fathers, one a former president who led the Gulf War, the other a three-term Southern senator who fought for civil rights and against the Vietnam War. The presidential candidates share something else: a determination to avoid missteps that brought both fathers repudiation at the polls in their final elections. The younger Bush's insistence on relying on a trio of longtime and intensely loyal aides -- despite grumbling by GOP insiders that the group is too insular -- reflects his outrage at what he saw as disloyalty during President Bush's re-election campaign in 1992. He complained that high- powered staffers were putting their own agendas first, friends and associates say. Some of those close to the younger Gore trace his willingness to go on the attack to lessons he learned from the above-the-fray stance that his father took in 1970. Then-senator Albert Gore Sr., D-Tenn., refused to dignify what he saw as scurrilous attacks on his character with a response. The approach of Father's Day on Sunday underscores the historic nature of this campaign, as two sons of accomplished politicians face one Political Communication Lab., Stanford University another. Their contest reveals not only the candidates' personalities and priorities but also the influences of watching their famous fathers, both in victory and in defeat.

BUSH AND SEPTEMBER 11TH JOHN M. MURPHY This essay explores the ways in which President George W. Bush explained the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Through his choice of genre, use of visual imagery, and creation of an American people, Bush crafted the authority to dom- inate public interpretation of those events and the appropriate response to them. n January 20, 2001, President George W. Bush inherited a peaceful and pros- Operous nation. In less than a year, he found himself mired in war and reces- sion. Nearly three thousand Americans died in the bloodiest terrorist attacks to occur on U.S. soil. It was an extraordinary intelligence failure on the part of the United States.1 Osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaeda, the group said to have car- ried out the attacks, and Mullah Omar, the leader of the Afghan Taliban, the group said to have supported Al Qaeda, are still at large.2 The nation is still at war in Afghanistan. In the name of preemptive war, the nation fights in Iraq.

What a wonderful time it was in Austin! It was so good to see everyone! -- karla k. morton, Secretary Paisano, Full Moon by Glenn Whitehead, 1990. Communiqué from the President Many years ago, as a young boy growing up in suburban Texas, I often dreamed of one day becoming President of the Texas Institute of Letters. But never once, in any of my imagined scenarios, did I ever believe it could happen without a bloody coup. So thank you all for this peaceful transition of power. And now, as I relax inside the presidential suite atop the TIL Corporate Tower in downtown San Marcos, I’m reminded of Lyndon Johnson’s admonition regarding political power: “Now I do have that chance — and I’ll let you in on a secret — I mean to use it.” And here’s what I’m thinking: the TIL has a long and distinguished history, though we have often been, as Larry McMurtry once charged, “a pond full of satisfied frogs.” The world has changed a lot since the TIL was founded in 1936, but the organization hasn’t always kept up. The good news is that we have been making great strides in recent years, and my job now is simply to help keep our momentum going. To that end, our council will meeting in September to discuss ways to continue evolving the TIL.
