In this Nov. 2, 1992 photo, entertainer Bob Hope applauds as President George H. W. Bush kisses his wife Barbara during a pre-election rally at the Astro Arena in Houston. A new book of letters between presidents and wives, based on the papers of 23 presidents held by the Library of Congress, fleshes out momentous periods of history with the full range of human emotion. Barbara received a treacly note from George asking her to show more affection for the TV cameras in the 1988 campaign, like their opponents the Dukakises. "Sweetsie," he began. "Please look at how Mike and Kitty do it. Try to be closer in more - well er romantic - on camera. I am practicing the loving look, and the creeping hand. Yours for better TV and more demonstrable affection. Your sweetie pie coo coo. "Love 'ya GB."

In this Jan. 20, 2005 photo, President Bush's daughters Barbara, left, and Jenna Bush laugh with their grandfather, former President George H. W. Bush, right, before the swearing in ceremony of their father on Capitol Hill. By tradition, expectation and design, the 55th inauguration resembled those before it, but with twists. Soaked in old rituals, it offered measured steps toward something new. On the stage: old presidents, new hopefuls and surely a chief justice's final inaugural "congratulations" to the man he swore in.
