...Independence, MO., last week for the opening of an exhibition called "TIME and the Presidency," which will tour the U.S. over the next two years. It features great photos and TIME covers of Presidents from Franklin Roosevelt to Bill Clinton, along with commentary by our longtime columnist Hugh Sidey...
