        By 1922, 10 years out of the presidency, Taft had lost 100 pounds.

        ... and how many have an idea what Robert Todd Lincoln looked like - though, he played a memorable role in American history as the child of President Abraham Lincoln among other things.

        He also served as Secretary of War and was feted as a potential GOP nominee for many decades. He never showed any interest in the brass ring though, I think he saw what did to his father physically (aside from assassination) and their relationship.

        Interesting information... appreciate it. His home "Hildene" near Manchester, Vt.... is beautiful and open as a museum and cultural center to the public. Well worth a visit.

        In 1863, RTL was saved from being hit by an oncoming train in Hoboken, NJ by Edwin Booth, JWB’s older brother. Even my wife was impressed by that rather remarkable piece of history

        Warren G used to be my benchmark for most corrupt POTUS. "W" came along and I thought he was closing in on the trophy. Now Trump has eclipsed Warren G. Harding for the prize.

        You forgot to point out the seating was segregated at the memorial for the guy who ended slavery!

        My kid is jumping up and down telling me that Harding appointed Taft as Chief Justice bc it was T's dream job, then went on to say that T swore in Coolidge in '23 & Hoover in '29 then died the next year. #Autism 🤓❤️

        Amazing how much weight Taft lost when he finally got to do something he wanted to do all along.

        o.O Not one stitch of Taft's clothing lines up. /cocks head again. Harding's pants aren't much better. Lincoln appears to have had the sense to use his hat to fix any problems on his end.

        In a similar vein, this also mentions the younger Mr. Lincoln’s circumstances around that time: http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1985-03-31/business/8501180105_1_mr-palmer-mansion-potter-palmer ….
