He was in great opposition to Hoover’s “rugged individualism” approach and believed that only mass government intervention could revive, or even lift the economy out of its debt. His ease with public speaking, all-American appearance, and optimistic approach were not his only presidential campaign platforms, however. Years before this presidential election, F.D.R. had been active in politics, serving as Vice President at the young age of 38. At the age of 39, Infantile Paralysis, or Polio, struck Franklin down in his upward aspiration towards president. He ...

This general topic cannot be dealt with effectively unless it is done at a distance, looking back with the experience she has gained. Jacobs does this a lot -- she takes her own present-day experiences and places them in the framework of her past.
