...this is Friday, that must be Rosalynn Carter in Rome, tossing coins into the Trevi Fountain to ensure another trip to the Eternal City. With daughter Amy in tow, the First Lady made a whirlwind six-day tour of Geneva and Rome last week, meeting with World Health Organization experts to discuss mental health, and for 35 minutes at the Vatican with Pope John Paul II.
