RE: GRANT

I've only been to Manhattan once, but never made it to Grant's tomb. I know during the 80s and 90s it was in pretty bad shape and was a magnet for the homeless and for drug users. Joan Waugh in her book U.S. Grant American Hero American Myth talks about the history of the tomb and how Grant is remembered by Americans. It's worth a look.
