Dr. Feel-good

THE Bush campaign had planned to

spend the week before Labor Day talking about education. The governor dropped by Springfield High School in Toledo, the hundredth school he has visited during the campaign. But nobody paid much attention. The hot issue of the moment is prescription drugs for seniors. Bush ended up spending the week on the defensive, explaining that he would come up with a drug plan soon.
