Black eye for Bush
(First Edition)
HOUSTON (AP) - President George Bush was sporting a black eye yesterday after being on the losing end of a Christmas Day snowball fight with his grandchildren at the Camp David presidential retreat.

Presidential aides said that the black eye developed after one of the President's grandchildren caught him with a hard snowball while playing outside on Christmas morning.
