It seems that once they got Bush back to his suite, he started speaking in complete sentences! (The idea for this was stolen from Dave Barry's year-end column in the Washington Post a couple weeks ago). = = = = = = = Subject: Bush illness From: dbrooks@osf.org Original.

From: prb@access.digex.com (Pat) What was the Last thing Miizawa said to Bush? Try the Fugu, IT's delicious. [Authors note. For those who are not aware, fugu is a highly toxic blowfish the japanese eat as a delicacy. 1-2 people every year fugu out of this planet.
