...grounds and the Ellipse behind, then add walkways and plants. Visitors could be filtered through the gates and see unmatched vistas of the grounds. Most of the more than 15 million visitors who come to Washington want to see the White House in some manner, but fewer than a tenth of them can have inside tours. It is Seale's view that every person truly interested in the White House could take a walk in an expanded park. "The only people who would be inconvenienced would be those who want to drive by and see the White House...
...Niagara Falls, recognized him from the composite sketch. And some of his classmates and teachers from Starpoint High, where McVeigh graduated in 1986, would have nominated him as least likely to be the bomber.

Schoolmates sarcastically voted the taciturn McVeigh "Most Talkative."

...museum space--a movie theater, showing clips and costumes, and one small room with, among other treasures, Marilyn Monroe's Seven Year Itch dress and one of the Citizen Kane "Rosebud" sleds--is in immediate need of expansion; it displays only a tenth of the boots and booty Reynolds has collected from other auctions and such friends as Ginger Rogers and Cyd Charisse, Ann Miller and Ann-Margret. Debbie even pays tribute to an ex-friend: in the theater is a Cleopatra headdress worn by Elizabeth Taylor, who seduced and married Debbie's first husband, Eddie Fisher...
