character, said mark twain, is the architect of achievement. it was twain, after all, who famously declared himself to be a greater man than the father of his country for the simple reason whereas george washington couldn't tell a lie, he twain could. on closer examination, the joke isn't on washington at all, but on the humorist and his hero worshipping contemporaries. for the same mark twain who chuckled over a god-like washington came close to defying ulysses grant. above all, twain marvelled at grant's self-possession, the single quality that comes closest in my opinion to defining washington. but whereas grant seems to have been born with his thermostat set on woe, washington waged a life-long struggle to control his combustible emotions. a warrior of mercurial temperament and grant-like calm, nowhere is this potent combination more explicitly evoked that in the second washington figure created by exhibit designers to introduce a life divided into three distinct parts. last time we tracked an enterprising young colonial into the ohio valle

his humor was like mark twain's, it came pouring out all the time, and unfortunately transcriptions of his speeches tend to be from the actual type script that he would hand out to reporters, so his improvisation, his witticism, the jokes that he would tell are not there in the transcriptions. but there is so much testimony from people who knew him that he was hilariously funny. when he wanted to be funny on paper as in the long letters he wrote describing his grand tour of europe in 1909 and his participation in king edward viii's funeral. one of the delights of working about him all these years was to write about somebody who was so funny. >> on the three roosevelt books, which one did you enjoy the most and which one was the hardest to write? >> "theodore rex" was the hardest because it was a political story. i do have to struggle when i'm writing about politics. because my nature is to write about events and action and character. i'm not very happy with abstract issues of policy and stuff. so, "rex" was hard to write. but the one i've enjoyed writing most oddly enough has been this
