...of Purdum's piece is just as good as the first:After breakfast and a quick read of the papers, the president sees his daughters, Sasha and Malia, off to school. Then he enters the private, wood-paneled family elevator—installed in the same shaft used by Theodore Roosevelt’s son Quentin to bring his pet pony upstairs—perhaps taking a moment to straighten his tie in the mirrored back wall of the cab.
Quentin? Pet pony? You've got to be kidding me!
"I'll be bringing my pet pony upstairs now, father."
"Splendid! Don't forget your shovel."
