The George W. Bush Presidential Library

As the tour nears its end, visitors will want to spend a few moments browsing in The Green Zone, the library's gift shop. As part of the president's continuing economic-recovery program, no sales tax will be levied on shoppers earning $500,000 or more a year.

Before leaving the library, visitors will have an opportunity to vote for which of the president's initiatives they would most like to see immortalized on a postage stamp. All ballots and comments will be kept secret unless subpoenaed by the Department of Homeland Security.
Edward Sorel lives in Manhattan. His Literary Lives series, which ran in The Atlantic over the past few years, will be published as a collection this spring by Bloomsbury. Cullen Murphy is the managing editor of The Atlantic.
