...turned her back on the public that in her view had destroyed their life. She no longer owed it anything. She never again entered the White House. She became virtually a recluse at their home in San Clemente, California, seeing almost no one except her family, especially the four grandchildren (Julie and David Eisenhower have three children, Tricia and Edward Cox have a son), whom she adored. In 1976 she suffered her first stroke. Her family put the blame on the Woodward-Bernstein book The Final Days, as if reading about the nightmare was worse than living it. She recovered...

I wonder if my grandchildren will believe me when I explain that it was hard to participate in history without cable...
