mrs. carter: in july. walter: what is the secret? i will tell you one secret i learned from this, you wrote a book together once. mrs. carter: oh, that is the worst experience of my life. [laughter] mrs. carter: we have totally different writing styles. i am a night person. he is a morning person to start with. i like to write at night. he does not like for me to write at night. that's not much of a problem. the problem was trying to remember what we did in the past -- it's not possible. you can remember 95% and we would fight. we got so we could not mention it without me crying. [laughter] mrs. carter: and so, we started writing notes to each other through the process. never -- and he said, it takes me a long time to write a chapter because i wanted to be just right. he can write one in an afternoon. and he wants to swap, so he sees mine and i see his, and i was like, i figured my chapter was -- i had gone up on mount sinai and came down with it in concrete words and i did not want him to change a word. and it was true. walter: that

[applause] [applause] we spent probably more time with each other than we did with our spouses, working. >> absolutely working. >> this is a lighthearted question, but i noticed when you are talking about the ping-pong you didn't say if he won. >> that is right, i didn't. [laughter] >> you mentioned at one time there was a suggestion during mr. truman's administration that they tear down the white house and start over. i wonder have they ever been serious about recommendations if the president and his family lived separate from his office? some studies have shown it would be good to have a chance to get out of one's residency and work apart from it, rather than having it all in one building. >> i'm sure that every president and first lady feels that way, that they could leave the white house behind and go elsewhere
