.Several other individuals deserve special mention for their contributions.Windsor Mann, my researcher, managed to find obscure articles and referencematerials that I never expected he would find.I also began to depend on himfor other things: fact-checking, line-editing, notes.He made contributions fargreater than I had anticipated when we began to work together.Nick Trautwein, an extraordinarily gifted editor, agreed to continue work-ing on the book despite the fact that he left HarperCollins for BloomsburyUSA midway through the project.As he did with my first book, Nick workedon very tight deadlines and made sense out of the very rough drafts I sent hisway.More than that, however, Nick was a voice of reassurance and sanity overthe course of a sometimes trying two years.He answered e-mails containingwhat must have seemed like very stupid questions and graciously took my late-night phone calls on more than one occasion.I owe him a lifetime of ChongChing chicken.My colleagues and editors at the Weekly Standard were quick with an en-couraging word and understanding about my many obligations.Claudia An-derson and Richard Starr are brilliant editors whose guidance has transformedthis below-average writer into an average writer.Fred Barnes provided valuableadvice, especially about the Ford years and the current Bush administration.Terry Eastland offered important context to my study of executive power.BillKristol read parts of several drafts of the manuscript and spent hours talkingabout the shape of the book.On several occasions he has given me advice thatcan only be described as selfless.My leave of absence took far longer than Ihad anticipated and I never felt any pressure from Fred, Bill, or Terry to doanything other than finish the book and take care of my family.My friendsthink I m exaggerating when I say that my job at the Weekly Standard is thebest job I can imagine.And other than being the general manager of the GreenBay Packers, I m not.Acknowledgments561These people helped shape and improve the book in many ways, but anymistakes that remain are mine alone.My parents, Stephen and Nancy Hayes, have supported me on this bookand in everything I have ever undertaken.They gave me important advice andencouragement during each of the many twists and turns that this process in-volved.It is not possible to have had a better upbringing or to have had a betterexample of good parenting to look up to.My siblings Andy, Julianna, andDan always found a way to make me laugh or to give me something excitingto think about as I pressed to finish.I m the oldest and yet I find myself con-stantly looking to them as role models.And my grandmother, Grace Forester,now 98, remains an inspiration to all of us.Most especially, my wife, Carrie, tolerated long stretches of my absence,as the reporting took me again and again across the country and overseas.Shetook care of the kids and me, doing far more than her fair share for more thantwo years.Her support and patience, as much as anything, allowed me to takeon and complete this project.INDEXAbbot, Steve, 354 American Enterprise Institute,Abraham, Spencer, 316 17 159 61, 177, 197, 259, 334Abscam scandal, 147 48 American Political ScienceAbu Ghraib prison, 480 Association, 47, 51, 53 54academics.See college experience Andrews, Duane, 226accidental shooting, 499 504 anthrax attacks, 356 59Addington, David, xi, 182, 218 19, Arafat, Yasir, 373242, 260, 264, 278 80, 298 99, Arens, Moshe, 242 44313 14, 317, 323 25, 333 34, Armitage, Richard, 275, 520 21337, 340, 343, 345 46, 349, arms-for-hostages, 190 200434 35, 478 79, 488, 522 Armstrong, Katharine, 501Afghanistan, 145 46, 352 53, 357, Ashcroft, John, 324, 420 22, 452359 60, 367, 424 25, 466 72 Asian tour, 430 33African National Congress (ANC), Aspin, Les, 168, 201, 254, 380287 88 assassinations, 83 84, 89, 93 94,Ahmad, Hashim, 245 46 390 93airplane shoot-down order, 338 40 Atta, Mohammed, 441 45alcohol consumption, ix, 37 38, Atwood, Donald, 216 17, 236 37,75 76, 125 261Allbaugh, Joe, 274Alliance for American Leadership bachelor s degree, 38 41PAC, 259 65 Bagley, Bill, 137 38al Qaeda, vii, 295 96, 322, 343, 351, Baker, James, 161 63, 174, 184,357, 367, 386 87, 424, 439 45, 205 9, 227, 231 32, 248, 378 79457 58, 466, 479 82, 491.Barnes, Michael D., 176, 192See also bin Laden, Osama; Bartlett, Dan, 475September 11 terrorist attacks baseball, 18 19, 30, 428 30I ndex564Bates, Bob, 53 54 reelection campaign; viceBegala, Paul, 283 84 presidency, Cheney sBenson, Merritt, 170 71, 173 74, Bush and Cheney election campaign,246 47, 438 273 301.See also viceBernstein, Carl, 80 presidency, Cheney sBerry, Steve, 182 George W
