"The opening title card read An American Family, and then the words cracked and fell to the bottom of the screen," she says. "We all just looked at each other and said, 'Uh-oh.'" Lance, who parlayed his notoriety into a writing career, says his father Bill, 79, called Survivor "No. 1 on my must-not-see list...

The effort to preserve an authentic Kennedy-and-Roosevelts-slept-here fell in the dorms has created wide discrepancies in room size and quality.
