several agency heads with the clear
impression that their services were
no longer needed. White House
counsel Alberto Gonzales is Bush's
nominee to replace Attorney Gen
eral John Ashcroft.
Rice, who is considered more of
a foreign policy hard-liner than
Powell, has been Bush's national
security adviser for four years. But
w hile she's known around theglobe,
her image on the world stage does
not rival Powell's. The retired four-
star general has higher popularity
ratings than the president.
