As the creators of <i>Cabinet</i> magazine reveal here for the first time, they were <i>doodling</i>. Our Founding Fathers doodled, and so did Andrew Jackson. Benjamin Harrison accomplished almost nothing during his time in the White House, but he left behind some impressive doodles. During the twentieth century -- as the federal bureaucracy grew and meetings got longer -- the presidential doodle truly came into its own. Theodore Roosevelt doodled animals and children, while Dwight Eisenhower doodled weapons and self-portraits. FDR doodled gunboats, and JFK doodled sailboats. Ronald Reagan doodled cowboys and football players and lots of hearts for Nancy. The nation went wild for Herbert Hoover's doodles: A line of children's clothing was patterned on his geometric designs. The creators of <i>Cabinet</i> magazine have spent years scouring archives and libraries across America. They have unearthed hundreds of presidential doodles, and here they present the finest examples of the genre. Historian David Greenberg sets these images in context and explains what they reveal about the inner lives of our commanders in chief. Are Kennedy's dominoes merely squiggles, or do they reflect deeper anxieties about the Cold War? Why did LBJ and his cabinet spend so much time doodling caricatures of one another? Smart, revealing, and hilarious -- <i>Presidential Doodles</i> is the ideal gift for anyone interested in politics or history. And for anyone that doodles!<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Sasha Archibald</b> is the former Associate Editor and Sina Najafi the current Editor-in-Chief of <i><b>Cabinet</b></i> magazine.
