Evaluating America's Imperfect 10
Try
naming American presidents, and chances are good you stumble on “Tyler.” Was
his first name “James” or “John?” Was he president before or after Millard
Fillmore? The kids at Springfield Elementary School on “The Simpsons” once did
a musical number about “caretaker presidents.” Sure enough, he gets a mention:
There’s
Taylor/There’s Tyler/There’s Fillmore and there’s Hayes/There’s William Henry
Harrison/‘I died in thirty days.’
