Ashcroft Proposes New Alert Color, Undrapes Statue In Desperate Bid For Attention World Staff (ST Tribune) Fri, June 13 2003 Posted: 10:38 EST (1538 GMT), WASHINGTON DC -- Feeling neglected by a Pentagon centered press, Attorney General John Aschroft announced a new alert color today (Bisque) which is expected to fill a previously unremarked gap between yellow and orange. In a related move, Ashcroft announced that the curtains obscuring the semi-nude statue of justice in the main hall of the Department's headquaters will be removed and the statue itself slightly tarted up.
