...parceled out nearly $400,000 in scholarship money and other financial aid to 13 students. Conveniently, six of the recipients were related to I.O.C. members. Salt Lake committee tax reports, however, made no mention of the scholarships. A Utah health-care group donated $28,000 in services, including cosmetic eye surgery, to the I.O.C. cause. And the Salt Lake Tribune reported that the bid panel spent some $20,000 on guns and skis that presumably went to individuals associated with the I.O.C...

Accompanying the photographs will be observations by Hugh Sidey, longtime President watcher and columnist for TIME. Excerpts from the exhibit, "TIME and the Presidency...
...tried too hard to do too much. I would go to home plate and swing hard at almost everything instead of having the calm to wait for the right pitch. My new goal was to be a greater offensive threat. With patience, an improved swing and a sharper eye, I felt I could bring more to the batter's box and be an even steadier performer for my team, the Chicago Cubs...
