HAPPY 132ND, HERBERT
August 10, 2006
Herbert Hoover, the only son of Iowa to be elected president, was born 132 years ago today in West Branch. Things went badly while he was president. His tarnished reputation is burnished by his great humanitarian feats before and after his presidency, which he survived by 31 years.
In a completely unrelated note, I have learned that "hoover" is a verb in the U.K. It means "to vacuum," as with a Hoover vacuum cleaner.
