~Pope and Bush:~ (Plus: Today in history, Word for the day, Today’s horoscope, Maxine and Herman)

  The Pope is visiting Washington, D.C., and President Bush takes him out for an afternoon on the Potomac, sailing on the Presidential yacht, the Sequoia.

  They're admiring the sights when, all of a sudden, the Pope's hat (zucchetto) blows off his head and out into the water.

  Secret Service guys start to launch a boat, but president Bush waves them off, saying, "Wait, wait. I'll take care of this.

  Don't worry." Bush then steps off the yacht onto the surface of the water and walks out to the Holy Father's little hat, bends over picks it up, then walks back to the yacht and climbs aboard.

  He hands the hat to the Pope amid stunned silence.

  Denver Post, Albuquerque Journal, Los Angeles Times and San Francisco
