garfield asked the librarian of congress how best they might restore the house. yet garfield's successor, president arthur, attempted to secure its demolition in 1882. congress and the public rose in opposition to arthur's proposal. noisily. no one thereafter dared mention the demolition, although a sirs of expansion plans for remodeling were brought forth by the corps of army engineers over the years. none made it. the last try was an ill-fated one in the fall of 1900, expanding the house into a palatial place six times its size. this plan might have worked. though it had its opponents, including mrs. mckinley, who was taken in her rolling chair to see it, the model, and said to all assembled, well, it is very nice, i think, but there will be no hammering while i live here. in 1902 president theodore roosevelt, taking an entirely different point of view, was able to convince congress to fund a restation of the house. that magic word has sweetened the idea with congress from garfield to mrs. kennedy. what roosevelt wanted as a clear symbol of the modern internati

without my garfield id, i left havana in 1981 and went to zurich, switzerland, thanks to james joyce. my dancing there became walking through the silence of the city. instead of people looking at me like my family did when i was a child, people began to ask me, where are you from? i felt disoriented, exiled. the changing perception of nature, religious views, philosophical and political opinions, botanical knowledge and idiomatic sounds, everything new. i asked myself many times for a specific reason why my irish family went to cuba and began searching for missing pieces of my irish history in irish, cuban, and catalan archives to discover before me that i had a fascinating history of displacement and transformations in various geographic setings. my book, ticket it ride, is a personal journey towards the past and the present. there is no one but many places i belong to: havana, dublin, mahon, barcelona, and since the lay 80's, the bay area. so thank you very much. . >> i'm going to do this in about 5 parts. i hope you will bear with me. first of all, i want to thank cross roads for i

president garfield attended a dinner the night before his inauguration. even at the end of president garfield's life after the assassination attempt, wormley catered to him at the white house by preparing his meals and nursing him during his suffering. national newspaper accounts report how james prepared a concoction known as beef tea. in those accounts, the papers report on how james was always called upon to attend to our greatest leaders of the 19th century to lend aid and comfort. the hotel was the accommodation of choice for politics and wealthy elite of the world. mrs. astor stayed there at the occasion of the a party griffin at the white house. prince made polian, hamilton fish and all the aristocrats in new york engaged rooms during their visit into the city. the chief lord justice of england reserved rooms there in 1884. in a book by another european author, the hotel was described as one of the quietest most elegant and most comfortable in the federal capital. the proprietor a colored man of gentle manners and great administrative abilities. ja
