After an absence of many years the infamous Watergate Hotel is reopening under new owners on the banks of the Potomac River. To maintain a link to the past, room keys will instruct guests "No need to break in!" In addition the voice of former President Richard M. Nixon will soon be heard in the public bathrooms and provides the soundtrack for the hotel's phone system - which happens to get its number 617-1972 from the date of the famous break in. I think I would find an excuse to use the restroom. You can't make this stuff up.
