Few expected very much of Franklin Roosevelt on Inauguration Day in 1933.

I think one of the lessons of the Depression - and this is something that Franklin Roosevelt demonstrated - was that when orthodoxy fails, then you need to try new things. And he was very willing to try unorthodox approaches when the orthodox approach had shown that it was not adequate. ↗

I always assume that democracy is the only good form of government, quite frankly, and democracy is always to be preferred. ↗

All the Frank O'Hara types seem to have very little sound stuff going... it's so chatty or something. ↗
