New dirt thrown in squabble over candidates' war records

The controversy over John Kerry's Vietnam War record looked set
yesterday to escalate into a duel between the two competing
presidential campaigns, after new, unflattering details emerged about
George Bush's much questioned National Guard service in Texas and
Alabama in 1971-72.
The widow of one of the Bush family's closest confidants of the period
alleged that the reason the young Mr Bush was transferred to Alabama
was that his drunken, boorish behaviour was becoming a political
liability for his father - who was serving as US ambassador to the
United Nations - and the family was keen to get him out of Texas.
