The odd, true, laugh-out-loud funny story of a teenager, an Oval Office, and a ringside seat to Watergate.
At the age of 17, Don Stinson accidentally landed a job in the White House during Watergate, so far the largest political scandal in American history.

"A captivating account of a historically momentous time told from a refreshingly uncommon perspective... Stinson's prose is unfailingly clear and his tone is self- effacing." Kirkus Reviews
"(Don Stinson) may be the only man in the world who can say (his) wingmen were Bob Hope and Charlton Heston!" John Grayson and Jennifer Blume, 550AM KTRS- St. Louis
"(Written in) a unique style! I call it 'whimsical irony.'"
Dr. John Cook, Good Books Radio, PBS Radio Stations
"Don Stinson is the guy at the party they'll listen to when he says, 'Well, I've got a story to tell!'"
Paul Murnane, WCBS Radio - New York
"(Downstairs at the White House) is a really cool book.... the story of a kid who kind of 'Forrest Gumps' his way into all kinds of interesting situations." Bradley Jay, WBZ News Radio 1030 - Boston
