WASHINGTON (CNN)
-- In October 1925, a 12 year-old boy in a small California town wrote in a school assignment that he "would like to study law and enter politics for an occupation so that I might be of some good to the people." The boy: Richard Milhous Nixon, some 43 years before being elected the nation's 37th president.
Over 150 documents, articles and mementos are located in the new National Archives exhibit which is located in downtown Washington. Also an exhibit called "School House to White House: The Education of Presidents," opened up on Friday and runs through January 2008, just in time for voters to begin the long dragging process of electing the next president. This would be a good time to mention to my wife about this museum so that we can make a pit stop while we tour the east coast.
