TAD LINCOLN: Eight-year-old Tad Lincoln—known in the White House as the tyrant—both charmed and horrified visitors to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. By all accounts, President Lincoln overindulged his youngest son, often abruptly leaving cabinet-level meetings because Tad wanted "Papa" to take him to a toy store or for a pony ride.
