- <p> Is GEORGE BUSH recklessly rushing back into the swing of
- things? He slowed his tempo dramatically after he was found to
- have Graves' disease, but the President, 67, has picked up the
- pace again, in part to head off any perception that his illness
- has dogged him. His doctors have okayed a packed schedule, but
- some aides fear that Bush may be overdoing it a bit. A member
- of his medical team told a colleague that doctors are unable to
- "get the President to sit down." Bush, whose medication is
- still being fine-tuned, is also having trouble sleeping. Even
- so, Democrats are premature in their hope that Bush's health
- will block a re-election bid. "If he can crawl," says an
- adviser, "he will run."
