- Actually, no one is "interred" in Grant's Tomb, since "inter" means "in
- the earth," and the coffins are right there out in the open where you
- can see them. I guess they're below ground level, though, so you could
- argue about it.
-
- On my one and only visit to the Tomb, I thought it was really groovy that
- they are blowing cooled air over the caskets. Is there really enough
- soft tissue left that there would be a smell problem if they didn't?
- I mean, when they dug up Lee Oswald after only about 25 years he was
- just a skeleton. What could be left of the Grants by now that would
- require special air-conditioning?
