ISBN: 9781589804593

Details 

E. coli, bird flu, and global warming joined terrorism as major threats. President Bush’s approval rating plunged as gas prices reached new heights and antiterrorist surveillance came too close to home.

The youth of America edged into obesity, while the elderly were confused by new Medicare plans. Controversial cartoons became a new weapon in the war against terror. Scandals flawed the image of the dominant Republican Party and Dick Cheney’s quail-hunting companion made a full recovery.
