George Washington racks up late fees at NY library

NEW YORK – If George Washington were alive today, he might face a hefty overdue library fine.

One of the books was the "Law of Nations," which deals with international relations. The other was a volume of debates from Britain's House of Commons.

Both books were due on Nov. 2, 1789.
