By DEB RIECHMANN
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush on Thursday presented the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian award, to leaders in medicine, government, the judiciary and the military. In a ceremony in the East Room of the White House, Bush lauded and joked with Dr. Anthony S. Fauci: An adviser to the government on global AIDS issues, he is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Bush said that Fauci still quotes what he learned from Jesuit (Regis High School, New York and the College of the Holy Cross) teaching — "Precision of thought. Economy of expression." And the president quipped, "And now you know why he never ran for public office."
