one year i was getting a lifetime achievement award at new york's waldorf astoria hotel.ing something totally new she had never before tried. she was studying ballet. she refused to tell me anything about the performance to come. other than clive it's going to knock your socks off and everybody in the audiences as well. frankly, i couldn't at all imagine what it would be. and no one there will ever forget it, least of all me. the night came. the curtain went up. the orchestra started playing. and then aretha came on, straight faced in a tutu. yes, a tutu. there was the queen of soul accompanied by members of the city center ballet company. she doing well-rehearsed pierrettes and dancing with most impressive agility and dignity. it was wonderful. my friend aretha was going to extraordinary lengths to make sure the night would be a night always to be remembered. and hopefully this reveals to you the incredible wide ranging quest for knowledge that aretha had. she studied classical music at juliarkd. and of course her performance at the 1998 grammys. you all remember that. n

general clay and all those civil war heroes, i mean, world war ii heroes like him all lived in the waldorf or whatever. he liked that. but he quickly rescinded the suggestion. the public was infuriated about it. >> can i get you to jump in on this? >> yes. it's interesting if you put the white house in the context of the period in which it was built, in the 1790s, in the era of these great country estates, these great country leaders and, in fact, in ireland they were emulating and trying to create similar estates as well as in great britain, these were not necessarily, even at that time, walled off, separate from the public. washington at mt. vernon was plagued by a constant stream of visitors all through his life. whether coming back from the revolutionary war and the confederation period or as president, there was an expectation that it is private but it's also public. it's a strange balancing act that has to be carried out where it is open, it is accessible, you are supposed to be able as a citizen to encounter the leading citizens of your day as long as you are a respectable individua
