Bush Says It's Time For 'New World' By George E. Condon Jr. Copley News Service
WASHINGTON - President Bush, calling on Americans to " imagine a new world with a new Europe," said last night he hopes to use next week's summit meet– ing with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to "once and for all end the Cold War." In a televised Thanksgiving Eve address to the nation from the president ial retreat of Camp David, Mr. Bush said the nation can be thankful for the democratic revolu– tion currently sweeping across Eastern Europe. He hailed the changes as "a joyful end to one of history's saddest chapters." "On other Thanksgivings, the world was haunted by the images of watchtowers, guard dogs and machine guns," he said. " But now the world has a new image - reflecting a new reality - that of Germans, East and West, pulling each other to the top of the wall - a human bridge between nations."
