SMITH Smith explores ‘exclusive trade union’ between early presidents

JEN BENTLEY Staff Writer

If you asked Richard Norton Smith what his job is, he probably wouldn’t tell you that he is a presi- dential historian. Despite rightfully earning his title from years of work as a biographer, head of six presi- dential libraries and a scholar-in- residence of history, Smith’s passion has always been his love of history, not fulfilling titles. “I know it when I see it. I’m not sure how to define it,” Smith said about being a presidential scholar. “I never really stopped to think about it as such, and I’ve certainly never claimed it as such. It’s only A ‘SUMMER SONG’ looking back that it sticks together.

“We could have been called The Three Ashtrays,” Butala said. “It meant nothing, absolutely nothing.” Having recently completed their 76th album, The Lettermen are cer- tainly more than nothing. The group became a hit in the 1960s, known ROBENALT DEAN for its love ballads such as “The Way You Look Tonight,” “When I Fall In Love,” and “Goin’ Out of My Head / Can’t Take My Eyes Off You.” Overall, the group has 16 Top 10 singles and five Grammy nominations.
