Portraits of Charles Dickens and President Abraham Lincoln line the wall of the Round Robin Bar at the Willard Hotel in Washington DC.
At this self-proclaimed ‘Residence of Presidents’, folklore has Ulysses S. Grant coining the term “lobbyists” as a label for those who loitered after him in the Willard’s lobby (never mind references to the verb “lobbying” from before The Willard opened its doors).
