Then Letterman only height ened the confusion. The whole thing started during a collection of video clips Letterman showed Monday under the label “George W. Bush Invigorates America’s Youth.” One showed Bush at a March rally in Orlando, Fla., standing at a lectern with several listen ers behind him. While Bush spoke, the young man yawned, twisted his head, checked his watch and generally seemed dead on his feet. i uesday morning, CNN at tempted to lighten its news mood *y running the segment, credited evcO CBS’ “Late Show with David Lettermar.,” on its “CNN Live Today.” Then CNN host Daryn Kagan added: “We’re being told by the White House that the kid, as funny as he was, was edited into that video, which would explain why the people around him weren’t re ally reacting.” Later, during CNN’s “Live From ...,” anchor Kyra Phillips reran the tape but cautioned view ers: “We’re told that tl e kid was there at that event, but not neces PHOTO COURTSEY OF KRT CAMPUS CNN Incorrectly reported President Bush said a video of Bush’s speech played on David Letterman’s show was doctored. sarily standing behind the presi dent.” The truth was: The White House never complained, and the footage was real. On Tuesday night, Letterman aired Kagan's and Phillips’ skepti cal remarks and ranted: “An out and-out, 100 percent absolute lie. The kid absolutely was there and he absolutely was doing everything we pictured via the videotape.... “So when you cast your vote in November,” he urged, “just re member that the White House was trying to make ME look like a DOPE.” By then, CNN had owned up to its mistake, and placed a call to Lettermin’s New York headquar ters before the 5:30 p.m. taping be gan. The tape was already rolling before Letter-man got the word. “According to this,” he said during the show, referring to an index card in his grasp, “CNN has just phoned and ... the anchor woman misspoke. They never got a comment from the White House. It was a CNN mistake.” So then he wailed: “Now I’ve called the White House liars, and you know what that means — they’re going to start looking into my taxes!” Though CNN spokeswoman Christa Robinson noted that “we frequently air late-night comedy show clips,” on Thursday she con firmed the “misunderstanding among our .-•tafi” surrounding the" yawning-boy video.

Don’t think about what your reward will be. You’ll work faster if you aren’t preoccupied with that. This assignment will be much easier if you have a contract. TAURUS You’re surrounded by people who understand what you’re going through, so don’t be afraid. Conserve your resources, and offer your affection freely to people who care. GEMINI Cleaning house may not be your favorite way to spend your time, but the rewards could be lovely. And you might get somebody to help. CANCER There’s a way to make your workload lighter, but this will require some study on your part. Take the time to develop a better routine. LEO Don’t schedule a date for tonight. Odds are good you’ll get a chance to work late. You’ll be able to afford a much . flashier outing on Sunday. VIRGO You need to lay down the law again, since some of the others forgot how important it is for them to give the information you need. LIBRA Gathering data is a better plan now than dispersing it to others. Make accuracy your top priority. Let somebody else spread the news. SCORPIO Once you have your team together and are committed to your goal, you can start discussing the details of how you’ll finance this endeavor. All in good time. i SAGITTARIUS Curb your wilder side for a little while. An outrageous announcement won’t go over as well now as it will in a couple of days. Concentrate on getting work done. CAPRICORN The light at the end of the tunnel should be clearly visible by now. There’s still one difficulty or fear to overcome, however. Stay sharp. AQUARIUS You may feel as if there’s plenty of money, but check with a loved one first. He or she may have plans that you haven’t been told about. PISCES You’ll gain more than you can possibly imagine by joining forces with a partner. The person you’re seeking is a good organizer, though somewhat critical.
