    2. I'm sure we just showed up. I remember standing on the North Portico before going inside. I wonder if that's a correct memory. John Kennedy was president.

    3. When I did the tour in the late 80's early 90's, you stood in line for a time ticket, first come first served for that day. I walked up and had a ticket for tour that started in 10 minutes.

  3. 1. Of course. Everyone knows the building.
    2. No, and I have no interest in doing so.
    3. No. Australia Post offers a poor service and I Barack's invitation arrived too late.
    4. Like supermodels reply, I would pointlessly focus on world peace, or even US peace.
    5. I could live there but all care and no responsibility.
