One of the many election-related headlines last week involved Teresa Heinz Kerry, wife of Democratic candidate John Kerry, who questioned whether Laura Bush had ever had "a real job." Heinz Kerry, who quickly apologized when reminded that the president's wife had been a public school teacher and librarian for 10 years, made the remark during an interview for a PBS program to be aired tonight: The First Lady: Public Expectations, Private Lives. Conducted by Margaret Warner, senior correspondent for The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, and Susan Page, of USA Today, parts of the interview were published last week by both USA Today and The NewsHour.

Dick Cheney Vice President of the United States "He (Bush) doesn't waffle. That's exactly what we need in a president. We don't need indecision or confusion." Debra Bayron New York City resident "He had the nerve, the audacity, to come here. We'd been through a lot already. We've had enough. He should have gone to Texas." Sen. John McCain of Arizona "I just believe we are not enemies of the Democrats. Let's debate our differences, then win or lose work for the better of the country."

CRAWFORD, Texas - For more than five weeks, the president's inner circle and top security advisers kept the idea to themselves. During a trip to Asia in October, President Bush had asked his most trusted aides to try to fly him to Baghdad, Iraq, for Thanksgiving dinner with U.S. troops. There hadn't been a secretive presidential trip to a war zone in decades, and if it was to work, they agreed, not even their deputies could know. That was the start of a trip yesterday in which the president of the United States slipped away from his Texas ranch and into Baghdad undetected, surprising hundreds of U.S. troops, the news media - and his own parents who came here for Thanksgiving dinner.

ONE OF THE MOST predictable lines in President Bush's all-purpose stump speech is the introduction of his wife, Laura, with the observation that he married above himself. Her performance so far as first lady suggests he may be right. He's cocky, she's reserved. He's flip, she's thoughtful. He's constantly in motion, she moves at a deliberate pace. She's extraordinarily literate. Sometimes it seems he can barely talk. Politics is in his blood and bones. She's all but apolitical. It doesn't naturally occur to her to divide the world into Us vs. Them.

Give it a B-minus. That's the grade state officials are handing the phony Maryland photo ID that presidential daughter Barbara Bush tried to use last October at Toad's Place, a bar in New Haven, Conn. The incident, which was first reported this week by Newsweek magazine, sent Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration officials scrambling to see how good a forgery the 19-year-old first daughter had employed. Their verdict? Close, but not good enough to pass muster in Maryland or even in most discerning out-of-state bars - at least if the bartenders or bouncers have ever seen a real Maryland driver's license or the similar non-driver's photo ID. "It's a reasonable duplicate," says Andrew S. Krajewski, director of driver education and licensing for the MVA. "It just wouldn't get very far around here."
