Exclusively Presidential Trivia

by Anthony S. Pitch

Tight-lipped Calvin Coolidge spoke so little he was nicknamed Silent Cal. Lyndon Johnson gathered others around him because he disliked the solitude of his own company. Fashionable Chester Arthur was a self-confessed "night person" while Warren Harding had a passion for poker. Tall and squat, humble and arrogant, scholarly and earthy, the Presidents all had their fair share of quirks and oddities.
