    NEW BOOK: GOD IN THE OVAL OFFICE - ST-GAUDENS WANTED TO ELIMINATE THE MOTTO

    Dick Johnson writes: "It’s a long trail and this is fifth handed
    (this is a report of a news story of a review of a book) but
    there is a story of Augustus St-Gaudens in an unlikely new
    book. It covers religion and politics – two subjects rarely
    mentioned in The E-Sylum – but this might be of interest to
    anyone researching St-Gaudens.

    The book is "God In The Oval Office" by John McCollister.
    He tells the story of Theodore Roosevelt’s correspondence
    where St-Gaudens wanted to eliminate "In God We Trust"
    from our coins "for artistic reasons." Roosevelt agreed. He
    wondered whether it "cheapened" religion for God to be
    mentioned on earthly currency."
