\n Image of the Week: On the eve of a pivotal election, signs of the dissent and division consuming America are right outside White House\n <\/div>\n
\n The White House has had a fence for most of its existence. Thomas Jefferson\u2019s administration first erected a wood-rail barrier; a stone wall replaced that later on.
