At that moment, Roosevelt seemed agitated and flinched in his chair. An assistant asked the President if he needed help. FDR's head went forward. He gripped his head with his left hand and said, "I have a terrific headache." They would be his final words. The President collapsed and lost consciousness.

In a December "fireside chat" on national radio, Roosevelt condemned Axis aggression, insisting that its objective was no less than world domination. He asked for military aid for Britain, which was rapidly running out of money to buy arms. Behind the scenes, FDR moved even closer to war. He secretly sent Harry Hopkins to London to plan an Anglo-American war against Germany.

According to Roosevelt's grandson, James Roosevelt Jr., who is a former Associate Commissioner on Social Security, the quote was taken completely out of context. Keith Olbermann had him on the show to clear things up. The two of them go over the quote in question with a fine-toothed comb and provide the larger context in which it appears.

Howe interviewed Roosevelt about the Sheehan uprising for the New York Herald. The newspaperman left the interview with a story, and with a sense of Roosevelt's political potential. Howe, it seemed, impressed Roosevelt as well. The men became friends, and FDR called on Louis Howe to help his campaign. Mutual respect aside, they made the oddest of couples.

These accomplishments helped Roosevelt win a smashing victory in 1936 over his Republican opponent, Gov. Alfred M. Landon of Kansas. Roosevelt received 27,751,841 popular votes and carried 46 states with 523 electoral votes. Landon received 16,679,491 votes and carried only two states with eight electoral votes. Although the result of the election reflected overwhelming confidence in FDR's leadership, he still felt obliged to observe, in his 1937 inaugural address, "I see one-third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished."

Mr. Klos said that "He always saw Roosevelt as 'The Technology President' and the most overlooked accomplishment of FDR was the electrification of America. When he took office, 90 percent of rural homes had no electricity, prompting people to forsake rural areas for the cities. FDR created the Rural Electrification Administration, which along with Tennessee Valley Authority Act, Grand Coulee, and Hoover Dam brought power to the countryside and formed the backbone of the National Electrical Grid."
