...this age of rancor, there is one political reconciliation that defies the national mood and grows stronger and deeper each year. A direct descendant of the elm tree that John Quincy Adams planted on the White House grounds in 1826 is now three years old and 14 ft. high, growing in the soil Thomas Jefferson had graded into a small hill back in 1807 to increase the beauty and privacy of the President's residence...
...other day White House Gardener Irvin Williams looked proudly at the youngster. "It grew 4 ft. this year," he said, scanning the supple trunk that is planted about 12 ft. from the original Adams elm, which is weak and declining. The old tree was the tallest and grandest on the White House grounds until it was hit by lightning in 1965 and lost one of its huge limbs.

Baskin and Robbins (541 Mass. Ave.) never adjusted to the new generation competition of homemade ice cream flavors, though the famous 31 still beat the hell out of Brigham's (1420 Mass...
Gabled windows sit atop the pseudo-colonial façade. A sturdy elm offers shade for a manicured lawn. A flagstone path leads up to a hospitable front door. But 211 Pine Street, Mayfield, U.S.A., is not just any house. It is the home of Theodore Cleaver, infinitely better known as the Beaver...
