- <p>Winners
- </p>
- <p> BARBARA BUSH: For grace and good humor that defused a
- frightening situation. Anyone who doubted that the President was
- all right was immediately reassured by Mrs. Bush's decision to
- stay at the dinner when he had to leave.
- </p>
- <p> KIICHI MIYAZAWA: For cradling the President's head as Bush
- vomited on him and later dismissing the incident as absolutely
- "normal."
- </p>
- <p> PRESIDENT BUSH: For his quip on the floor: "Why don't you
- just roll me under the table and let me sleep it off?"
- </p>
- <p> U.S. TRADE BALANCE: After that, the Japanese delegation
- could hardly let him go home with nothing.
- </p>
- <p> CHICKEN SOUP: Goes down easy when you're queasy.
- </p>
- <p>Losers
- </p>
- <p> JAPANESE HANDLERS: For panicking and manhandling the
- press, creating a false sense of crisis.
- </p>
- <p> CNN HEADLINE NEWS: For coming within a nanosecond of
- swallowing a phony report that Bush had died; to his credit, a
- CNN worker threw caution to the winds, shouting "No! Stop!
- Stop!" in the newsroom as anchor Don Harrison began to announce
- the "tragic news involving President Bush."
- </p>
- <p> PRESIDENT BUSH: How'd you like to have millions--maybe
- billions--see you tossing your diplomatic cookies?
- </p>
- <p> DOUBLES WITH THE EMPEROR: Next time, take a rain check.
- </p>
- <p> JAPANESE RESTAURANTS: Everyone's first thought: It was
- that sushi, wasn't it?
