Once upon a time only doctors and business men were earning a decent wage and the rest of the population was living on nickels and dimes. This was the early 50s in N.Y.C., and everybody was equally poor and bored. Since very few people had extra money to spend most people sat at home looking out the window at empty streets. The only time people left the house was to get some basic food items or when they traveled on the subway to a low paying job and an angry boss. This was the worst of times, and what made it really miserable was the difficulty of finding a good bed partner. Single women were afraid of making love due to their fear of becoming pregnant. Abortion was not legalized, and a single woman that got pregnant was often a suicide case. Many people were forced to enter a bad marriage due to an accidental pregnancy, and it was not uncommon for a couple to get married just so they could experience sexual intercourse.
Times have changed for the better, no longer are we poor and bored. Good jobs are plentiful, and bosses have a smile on their faces. People are now kept busy shopping for everything under the sun, and hot love affairs are available to all just for the asking, we are living in the best of times. Those that have a problem with modern life have to search deep within themselves for a solution.
The perfect society has never been created. But the imperfect society can be visualized. It would be a society where there wasn't enough money in a persons pocket to enjoy shopping in a mall, or being able to buy a house or automobile. It would be a society where having an ideal sexual affair without being married was impossible. The imperfect society would be a place where people were intolerant of those that had an unpopular but harmless viewpoint. The most imperfect world would be a place where the most perfect people would be deprived by others of living a perfect life.
These are good times; the few problems we have are minor ones. The biggest fear is only an imaginary one, it is the fear about our society entering a new phase, and it being transported back in time to New York City in the 50s.This would be a nightmare and I hope it never happens.

FDR $15.99 One of today’s premier biographers has written a modern, comprehensive, indeed ultimate book on the epic life of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. In this superlative volume, Jean Edward Smith combines contemporary scholarship and a broad range of primary source material to provide an engrossing narrative of one of America’s greatest presidents. This is a portrait painted in broad strokes and fine details. We see how Roosevelt’s restless energy, fierce intellect, personal magnetism, and ability to project effortless grace permitted him to master countless challenges throughout his life. Smith recounts FDR’s battles with polio and physical disability, and how these experiences helped forge the resolve that FDR used to surmount the economic turmoil of the Great Depression and the wartime threat of totalitarianism. Here also is FDR’s private life depicted with unprecedented candor and nuance, with close attention paid to the four women who molded his personality and helped to inform his worldview: His mother, Sara Delano Roosevelt, formidable yet ever supportive and tender; his wife, Eleanor, whose counsel and affection were instrumental to FDR’s public and individual achievements; Lucy Mercer, the great romantic love of FDR’s life; and Missy LeHand, FDR’s longtime secretary, companion, and confidante, whose adoration of her boss was practically limitless. Smith also tackles head-on and in-depth the numerous failures and miscues of Roosevelt’s public career, including his disastrous attempt to reconstruct the Judiciary; the shameful internment of Japanese-Americans; and Roosevelt’s occasionally self-defeating Executive overreach. Additionally, Smith offers a sensitive and balanced assessment of Roosevelt’s response to the Holocaust, noting its breakthroughs and shortcomings. Summing up Roosevelt’s legacy, Jean Smith declares that FDR, more than any other individual, changed the relationship between the American people and their government. It was Roosevelt who revolutionized the art of campaigning and used the burgeoning mass media to garner public support and allay fears. But more important, Smith gives us the clearest picture yet of how this quintessential Knickerbocker aristocrat, a man who never had to depend on a paycheck, became the common man’s president. The result is a powerful account that adds fresh perspectives and draws profound conclusions about a man whose story is widely known but far less well understood. Written for the general reader and scholars alike, FDR is a stunning biography in every way worthy of its subject. From the Hardcover edition. |

FDR (Paperback) $34.83 In this magisterial one-volume biography of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, historian Jean Edward Smith provides a fair and full account of one of the great presidents of the 20th century. Smith provides a portrait of a robust man, from an aristocratic background, who overcame obstacles and championed the common man. He focuses on the key roles played by Roosevelt`s mother, Sara; his wife, Eleanor; his mistress, Lucy Mercer; and his confidential secretary and aide, Missy Lehand--all of whom deserve credit for influencing FDR as a person. Smith assesses how Roosevelt increased presidential power and reshaped the government, yet stumbled in his brazen attempt to pack the Supreme Court. He acknowledges the internment of Japanese-Americans and discusses FDR`s failure to see, understand, and act on the Holocaust. Finally, Smith recounts how FDR`s deft use of the media changed politics and the campaigns that followed. Highly readable, Smith`s life of Roosevelt shows there is still much to say about this much-written-about man. |

FDR's Republicans $29.99 FDR's Republicans: Domestic Political Realignment and American Foreign Policy illuminates the debate over foreign policy that took place in the United States prior to World War II. Robert E. Jenner approaches this issue from the perspective of Republican members of the House and Senate, who eventually came to support the interventionist position of a Democratic president. Unlike other diplomatic histories of this period, Jenner focuses on domestic components of the foreign policy debate, combining historical analysis and political theory. |

FDR's Shadow $9.99 In 1921, FDR had just lost an election as VP candidate with Governor Cox against Harding, he was overcome by an illness that left him paralyzed from the waist down, and his marriage was on the rocks. He retired to his home in Hyde Park with his wife Eleanor and an ever-present advisor, Louis Howe. With her signature insight, Julie Fenster presents a vivid, behind-the-scenes portrait of the world of the Roosevelts in a critical time, taking readers inside this peculiar arrangement and revealing how this intimate friendship lead to the resurgence of FDR. Eleanor Roosevelt, too, would never be the same again. Their son Elliott said, "The person who was most responsible for the development of my mother’s personality was Louis Howe, as he was of my father. He was a man that gave my father the iron will and the ability to move ahead politically, which I don’t think he would have ever done on his own. Louis Howe was probably the greatest influence on both my father and my mother’s lives.” |
