Voyager--

The home of Franklin Pierce--you didn't happen to see the CSPAN Presidents feature on Pierce, did you? He was a very interesting person, intelligent, likeable, a patron of the arts, and friend to Hawthorne, and yet died a pariah--He was handsome, charming, and much loved when he was elected, and by the time he left office, he was almost the most hated man in America--Who says you can't learn anything from TV?
