Back in the White House: a Baldrige recollection
In a nostalgic column Tish Baldrige recalls returning to the East Wing in 1981 at Nancy Reagan's request, meeting familiar staff, and finding the White House unchanged in atmosphere and ritual. She contrasts 1961 and 1981 inaugurations, notes Rex Scouten's continued leadership, and reflects on loyalty, history, and sentiment in the residence.
