When Laura Bush walked into the room wearing a stunning tangerine suit, I
wanted to say— just the way I would to a friend— “Have you been working
out?” “Have you changed your hairstyle?” She looked slimmer and even younger
than the woman I interviewed a little less than four years ago, on the day before the world changed. Back then, on September 10, 2001, Washington, still reeling
from an election that rested on a mere 537 votes in Florida, was recovering
from culture shock. The Bushes ran a very different White House than the
Clintons. They were on time for appointments, they spent quiet evenings with
intimate friends, and they went to bed early. Not exactly a hip Hollywood
lifestyle. But the First Lady, a title she still thinks of as too lofty and inauthentic
to describe her, was winning hearts and minds. She is, after all, a teacher and
educator. She taught elementary school in Houston and Austin for several years, and produced an outstanding book fair in Washington with some of America’s
greatest authors populating vast lawns filled with tents, talking to throngs
about their works. Laura Bush’s love of reading is partly what defines her. I
always wondered if books were substitutes for the brothers and sisters she
didn’t have growing up in Midland, Texas and if they kept her from feeling lonely. 【題組】Laura Bush grew up .
