Nixon

8. The Petticoat Affair

Andrew Jackson (not the BB :P )

9. River of Doubt

Teddy Roosevelt

10. When Character was King

Reagan

11. When the Cheering Stopped

Wilson (Woodrow, not Rob :P )

12. Honor's Voice

this one is Lincoln

13. Passionate Sage

John Adams (the dad)

14. A Question of Character

Kennedy

15. Hell of a Ride
