...those questions, they dislike the press for asking them, but boy, do they gobble up the newspapers and magazines that provide the answers! Though a majority of Americans say they're pleased that honor and dignity have been restored to the White House, it is only human to gawk when a crack appears in the marble of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, especially if we've stepped on the same crack.
