Adams customarily took a nude early morning swim in the Potomac River. Anne Royall, the first U.S. professional journalist, knew of his 5 a.m. swims. After being refused interviews with the president time after time, she went to the river, gathered his clothes and sat on them until she had her interview. Before this, no female had interviewed a US president. http://www.classroomhelp.com/lessons/Presidents/qadams.html http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/ja6.html Nov 15 05, 10:08 PM
