His command of policy detail is weak in some areas.And that planeload of journalists may yet be his worst enemy. His relationship with the press is starting to deteriorate, showing flashes of irritability. When he cancelled press conferences last week, fearing that he would be bombarded with questions on abortion, many were furious. To expect anyone but Mr Bush to emerge the victor, though, still seems a very long shot.The Christian wing of the party has pressed Mr Bush to the right in Iowa, and will seek to do so more in New Hampshire. There is a possible scenario under which John McCain, his principal challenger, and Mr Forbes put Mr Bush in a squeeze and Mr McCain emerges triumphant.Mr Bush is way ahead in the polls in the next two big primaries, South Carolina and Michigan, but his campaign is based on the myth of invincibility and cracking that may damage his image.

But he also brings some problems.First among these is that his lead in Iowa was not what it might have been: to be only 11 percentage points ahead is less than the Bush campaign had hoped for. Today is ‘We’re ready New Hampshire’,” said the Texas Governor early yesterday morning, as he arrived in the state, with a planeload of journalists trailing behind him.Mr Bush brings some good things from Iowa: a hefty national poll lead, a huge campaign fund, the endorsements of most of the country’s Republican politicians and a good initial victory. Steve Forbes will not win in New Hampshire and he won’t come second, but he could siphon off support from undecided voters. George W Bush flew straight to New Hampshire after his victory in Iowa’s Republican caucuses, preparing for what is a far more serious battle.

“Yesterday was ‘Thank you, Iowa’. After a week they found the wreckage.The discovery team believes the plane struck the mountain higher up, but that over the years the snow had washed it down the mountain to a level of about 5500 metres.The climbers returned last Sunday to report their find to the regiment. The Foreign Office said yesterday that relatives of their deceased official, Paul Simpson, had already been in touch. Harry Holmes of the Avro Heritage Group, said: “Anything that clears up the mystery after this time is fascinating and the occupants will finally get a decent funeral.”Aircraft have been found in deserts in Australia and in the Sahara 20 or so years after they were lost, but for one to be found nearly 53 years later with bodies preserved in the snow certainly sounds unique.”.

He set off for the first time in March 1999, but an ice storm turned him back The second attempt began on 10 January Mr Moiso and his son were aided by three soldiers. “Through lack of evidence due to no wreckage having been found, the actual cause of the accident remains obscure,” it says.Terry Denham, a historian, said yesterday: “This aircraft was at the margins of its performance. It’s hard to know what the pilot thought he was doing flying in such conditions.” The discovery came after Carlos Moiso, 59, an alpinist and an aviation investigator, overheard soldiers saying that they had seen bits of a plane on the south side of Tupungato.Mr Moiso started planning his expedition almost immediately. He said that, in light of the weather, the pilot should not have taken the route over the Andes.
