“For a reflective pause in the storm that is the 2016 presidential election, see “The White House: Inside Story,” on PBS. No, it’s not about the scandalous and dirty deeds that have taken place there over the centuries. It’s about the building, what it represents and what living or working in it is like. It’s about the weight of the place and the remarkable achievement it represents. Running for president, the documentary reminds us, is just a sideshow. Benefits await the winner, but so do substantial burdens.”
