- DIED. Dorothy Walker Bush, 91, mother of President George
- Bush; in Greenwich, Connecticut. Born to an affluent Midwest
- family, she married Wall Street banker and later Senator
- Prescott Bush in 1921 and gave five children a genteel but
- disciplined upbringing. Thrifty, spirited and a stickler for
- decorum and teamwork, she imparted her toughness of character
- and respect for the virtue of selflessness to her children. When
- son George returned home to regale her with his achievements on
- the playing fields of Andover or Yale, she was known to inquire,
- "Weren't there other boys on the team too?"
