First lady Laura Bush has hosted a 90-minute documentary premiering tonight on the History Channel at 9 p.m EST. It’s called “The White House: Behind Closed Doors.” I just came across an AP article about it, and it sounds like something of interest for us.
The accompanying photo shows Mrs. Bush talking to Leigh and Leslie Keno from the “Antiques Roadshow.” And the article tells us that President Bush had the Treaty Room, which he used as his personal office, refurnished with pieces from the Grant era. Mrs. Bush had misgivings, saying she wasn’t wild about Victorian furniture. But he insisted on having Grant’s furniture. Well, good for him!
Here’s the article. I hope some of you will get the chance to watch the show tonight. I have other obligations, but I assume there will be other opportunities to see it.
