     Another (supposedly)true story I heard MANY years ago:

     It seems that when Grace was a teenager/young adult, she was the 1960's
equivalent of a preppie. She went to an all-girl's prep school, and an all
girl's college(Vanguard??? Van-something-or-other?? Lord, the memory ain't
what it used to be....) Anyways, it seems she was a friend of a friend of a
friend who happened to invite her to the White House(I think, anyways...);
BUT, when she arrived at the White House, the Secret Service had gotten the
impression that she was "one of the drug-crazed hippies", and wouldn't let
her in. Many years later, Grace admitted that she was going to doctor the water
somehow with some acid (LSD, whatever you want to call it), so the Secret
Service did the right thing.

     My memory seems a little sketchy on this, but I heard it on the radio
during an interview with Grace herself, and she did say she did this. If
anyone has any more information, I'd sure like to hear about it.
