beverly: right. well, i would say there are two aspects of the ways in which hoover was quite popular. roosevelt and johnson were the two figures who enabled him, and powered him -- him, empowered him, expanded the power of the fbi, and hoover would not have become what he was without their support and at many moments the support of a whole generation of liberals who really saw him as a sort of heroic state builder, believer in the liberal state, and the political puzzle of the book is thinking about hoover in two ways. one is hoover as someone who came out of a progressive liberal tradition of building administrative power, belief in the federal government and what it could do in professionalism and nonpartisan service and all of these aspects of washington culture of a certain kind of midcentury liberalism, and on the other hand, was of course a passionate ideological conservative on questions of race, communism, religion, law and order, and the political trick is that he put these two forms togeth

beverly 0chieng there.der of the nurses�* union in england says they're prepared to continue strikes right up to christmas unless the government puts more money on the table. members of the royal college of nursing rejected a 5% pay offer and a one—off bonus last week. the government says the offer is fair and reasonable. 0ur political correspondent tony bonsigniore says the different health unions are divided on their position. so you have had one union that has accepted this offer. a couple of other unions are currently out balloting their members, but then the key one here is the royal college of nursing, pat cullen heads that. they actually recommended this offer to their members, but last week we got the result at the end of last week, and it was a narrow defeat for pat cullen. the members of the rcn rejected that offer, so we are back now into this prospect of more strikes, not only at the end of this month, but potentially in many months to come, perhaps even all the way up to christmas if, as they p
