It doesn't necessarily mean the leaders were presidents though. Who was the first Emperor of Rome?
Rome was founded in 753BC. The first Emperor assumed power in 27BC, but Rome wasn't leaderless during those first 730 years. Why doesn't the White House list those people who were before George Washington? And why did George Washington get a state *and* a city named after him, but Peyton only got a Place? -- Cheers, Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: Shel Belinkoff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 21 August 2005 01:37 > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: The Photographer's Rights > > Hi Bob ...
