President Reagan leaves the Oval Office on his way to incoming President George H. W. Bush's inauguration on Jan. 20, 1989. The Jan. 23, 1989 issue of U.S. News speaks of the new Bush administration. "Never one for manifestoes, Bush has defined his administration in terms of lives and experiences of people he has recruited. They reflect his own geographic, ideological and temperamental trek across the globe. There are Texans galore and New England Yankees; Rockefeller Republicans and Reagan offshoots; fierce, shrewd horse-traders and efficient good soldiers. Critics have carped that this is a team of retreads, too white, too upper crust, and too male."
