Bush senior no agent of charity

Former president George Bush is finally confessing after 16 years.
The raincoat he told an agent give to a rain-drenched elderly woman in a Warsaw square belonged to the agent, not the president.

The woman, one of thousands of onlookers, was caught unprepared for the downpour that marked the speech the president made in the Polish capital in 1989.

Alongside her, in the front row, stood an American secret service agent with a raincoat, presumably the president's, folded over his arm.

Mr Bush, standing coatless on the platform under a large umbrella, motioned the agent to give the soaked woman the coat, which she happily accepted.
