mr. harding's reputation. one viewer on facebook asks whether or not he was the most corrupt president in history. there are others who suggest he does not get his due for some of the things that happened during his administration. where would you put him? >> i do not think he is corrupt at all. a definite canard. that is just not true. there are the bad appointments you alluded to. there are scandals under truman with mink coats and deep freezes. there is sherman adams under dwight eisenhower. there are scandals under lyndon johnson, scandals of a much more recent vintage. they are not necessarily connected to the man in charge. they do not prove their corruption and it is unfair to tar them like that in some cases. certainly, harding, i would criticize him for being maybe -- not being maybe as vigilant with forbes. he should not have allowed him. he goes to jail after harding is dead. >> why, in the summer of 1923, did the president and first lady plan a trip? >> there have been suggestions this was to escap

mrs. harding was much older. she was a bit envious of young grace coolidge who had a beautiful complexion. that was much treasured in that time. she still had the bloom of youth upon her, and mrs. harding defined one color as her own, a certain blue called harding blue. every color looks good on grace. she could be snippy with grace. we have some letters that suggest she was thinking about the next election, and maybe president coolidge would not be the candidate the next time. when the issue came up that maybe the coolidges should have a vice presidential house, there was none, mrs. harding said she did not think so, that the willard hotel was just fine for the coolidges. >> they were also very different than just what we have learned about the two women. last week with florence harding, we learned she had a bold personality. there were issues that she cared about. she encouraged her husband into politics. we seem to have quite the opposite in the relationship between the coolidges. can you talk the differences
