BEST MOMENT FOR BUSH



Best moment for Bush
WASHINGTON -- President Bush says his best moment as president was the time he caught a 71/2-pound largemouth bass. During his more than five years in office, Bush has traveled the world's most impressive cities, met with world leaders and entertained celebrities. But when the German newspaper Bild asked him to name his best and worst moments as president, Bush gave an offbeat answer about the best moment, while giving a more predictable response about his worst. "The most awful moment was September the 11th, 2001," Bush said, adding that it took time to understand the depth of the terrorist attacks on the United States.
Spreading the messageon family mealtimes
CHICAGO -- For working parents and heavily scheduled school kids, family mealtime is as out of fashion as the scene in Norman Rockwell's iconic Thanksgiving supper painting. Supermarkets are trying to lure families back to the dinner table. There is a cost to spending meals apart: Research shows that teenagers who don't eat with their parents face a greater risk of drug and alcohol problems. "The more often kids have dinner with their parents, the less likely they are to smoke, drink and use drugs," said Joseph Califano Jr., a former U.S. health secretary and current head of the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, which did the research.
