Yesterday morning, before having coffee at the White House, soon-to-be first lady Michelle Obama handed Laura Bush a present. Inside was a leather-bound journal inscribed with a quote from western fiction writer Louis L'Amour:
"There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. Yet that will be the beginning."
Also in the gift box was a pen engraved with yesterday's date, for Bush to begin her memoirs, according to Michelle Obama's spokeswoman, Katie McCormick Lelyveld.
