- <p> WHILE IN WASHINGTON. If it's an up-close and personal visit
- with George and Barbara Bush you're after, don't bother with
- the White House tour. Best chance for a First Encounter is at
- the White House gates, front or back, between 6 and 9 p.m.
- That's when the President and First Lady occasionally take the
- pet spaniel Millie out for a constitutional. But don't stake
- too much on a truly meaningful exchange of views. Take the
- following conversation between the Bushes and a pair of
- wandering conventioneers: Lucky Visitor I: "We're here with the
- Estee Lauder group!" Mrs. Bush: "That's marvelous! I just love
- White Shoulders!" Lucky Visitor II: "Well, we know all about
- your house up there in Kennedybunkport."
