If I were still ten, I would be all over this story. Now I’m just amused. Especially at the idea that somewhere on this planet, as I type this, there is somebody gloating because his authoritative work — ""A History of Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Oral Health" — was referenced in today’s Washington Post.

The Post story notes the 50th anniversary of the day (tomorrow – February 20) when President Eisenhower, according to some supposedly knowledgeable people, ostensibly took a trip to "visit the dentist" . . . when in fact what he really did was visit and talk to aliens from outer space.
