Gore Vidal's novel The Smithsonian Institution is a fictional account of the adventures of "T." (a thinly-veiled version of Vidal's boyhood lover Jimmy Trimble) as he helps a group of scientists in the basement of the Smithsonian create the neutron bomb, and encounters historical figures such as President Abraham Lincoln, Charles Lindbergh, Eleanor Roosevelt and Mrs. Grover Cleveland.
