Peter Buck walked up to the N Street entrance of the While House.
It was one of the hard, deceptive, crystal days of early spring.
The obelisk of the Washington Monument was white and glittering.
Tourists hurried rather than shuffled past the White House.
Official limousines went by with their windows rolled up and
their back-seat occupants thumbing through papers, their
chesterfield collars up. The air was marvelously clear and full
of sun, but it was cold.
