Thanks for posting this link, Rick. Very interesting!
In The Farewell to Lincoln author Victor Searcher mentions Harrington and writes:
"Harrington arranged a section for the press in the East Room, an arrangement much appreciated by the historians of that moment. They were seated in fifteen chairs, draped in black, across a recess formed by closing the two main entrance doors from the hallway. This position offered excellent vantage from which the scene could be reported."

Victor Searcher's "The Farewell to Lincoln" is an often-overlooked gem in the assassination literature. It was published in 1965---AND only cost $5.95 for a 320-page, hardcover book! If you haven't read it, give it a go.

Roger, can you provide a page number for this quote? I would greatly appreciate the information.

Yes. It's from page 68 in Victor Searcher's The Farewell to Lincoln.
