Take the White House swimming pool, once F.D.R.'s pride and joy. It used to have one wall with windows. But no longer. The windows have been filled in and in their place, as a gift from the President's father, is a mural depicting a glorious sunset scene of St. Croix in the Virgin Islands. To keep dampness from peeling the sunset off the wall, Joe Kennedy had a special exhaust fan system installed...

There were no studio commissaries, nor even any Romanoff's, for the early Hollywood settlers to hang around in. The Beverly Hills provided a lobby with a blazing fire and a bar, and pilgrims like W.
