134 Years and Still Rolling
President Rutherford Hayes hosted the first White House Easter Egg roll in 1878. Since then, it has become an annual tradition hosted by the First Family. The Egg Rolls were cancelled from 1917-1920 during World War I, and again from 1943-1945 during WWII. In recent years, family participants are drawn from a random lottery. The festivities begin when the President blows a whistle and the children roll eggs across the South Lawn.

Short of the Week poses an interesting question with an even more interesting info graphic (above): Has Hollywood Lost its Way? From their site:
Much has been said over the last few days about the bleak year for theatrical films with year-end box office sales down 3.8% compared to last year and attendance down 4.7%. But there’s been less coverage of a bigger problem looming over the film industry — one that would be hard to blame on a bad year — the growing scarcity of original stories coming from Hollywood.
