Experience Christmas with the Roosevelts, as seenthrough the eyes of a White House housekeeper. Learn why DavidMcCullough is happy to declare “I love Washington,” while TheWashington Post’s Sally Quinn wonders, “Why Do They HateWashington?” Glimpse David Brinkley’s depiction of the capitalduring World War II, then experience Henry Kissinger’s thoughts on“Peace at Last,” post-Vietnam.
