Bush back to work after celebrations

US PRESIDENT George W Bush yesterday set forth on an ambitious second-term agenda after wrapping up his inauguration.

Four days of inaugural celebrations culminated with a National Prayer Service yesterday, following a tradition set by the nation’s first leader, George Washington.

The hour-long service brought together 3,200 invited guests, including family and cabinet members, top White House aides and others in the majestic Gothic-style sanctuary of the National Cathedral.
