Sat, 2 Jul 2005 18:00:00 EST Bush emotional at Fort Bragg

Why did President Bush get so emotional at the end of his prime-time speech on Iraq Tuesday night? His senior advisers tell U.S. News and the Bulletin that he nearly "choked up" when he looked out over the several hundred troops in the audience at Fort Bragg, N.C., and that the memory flashed into his mind of his three-hour visit with families of fallen soldiers that had ended just an hour before he began his address. "He was emotionally drained," says a senior Bush adviser. Bush had an hour to gather himself together in a private holding room, but thoughts about the families flooded back at the end of his speech. He told an aide a bit later, "It's tough, but man, the strength of these people!" The president was still wearing a bracelet given to him by the wife of a soldier who had died in Iraq.

Sat, 2 Jul 2005 18:00:00 EST Grand Canyon

Much of the Grand Canyon's charm comes from its remoteness, but that can also make it a pain to visit–this World Heritage Site isn't exactly on the way to anything. Most visitors start off either in Las Vegas or in Phoenix, and spend a good part of their first day making the drive–about four or five hours, depending on starting point and destination–to the canyon. The gateway cities both have their own charms. Vegas, of course, is Vegas, and a side trip to the canyon can make a nice break from the hectic Strip. But Phoenix has its own, more demure charms, and the drive north to the canyon–through mountain towns and the beautiful red-rock country–beats the slog from Vegas hands down.
