Topic: Fascinating Facts About Our Presidents

Who was our youngest American president? Who was our oldest? Who was our tallest, shortest, and fattest? Writer, speaker, and broadcaster Richard Lederer, whose presidential trivia series appears daily on the front page of the Union-Tribune, will offer a treasury of fascinating facts about the feats, fates, families, foibles, and firsts of our American presidents.
