President Bush did something
unusual Sunday night.
He stayed home.
An exhausted Bush, just back
from his third foreign trip in as

the afternoon playing tennis.
Bush returned Saturday night
from a week-long journey
through five South American
countries.
Bush was expected to resume
a full schedule today, including
meetings with President
