[laughter] and you think about this. she is talking about the second volume of her memoirs deals with her time in the white house. she's got some pretty dramatic stuff that she could be relating. one of the things i always find so interesting, people in her -- eleanor's contemporaries thought she was very forthright and very honest. she was just putting it out there. i think for us, when we read her memoirs and her autobiography, we think, this is kind of bland. i read it and i think, she is not telling you the whole story. in fact, i am teaching a class this semester and i am having my students read the autobiography just to get a sense of the scope of eleanor's life. and i spend 15 minutes every class time saying, i know this is what she wrote, but this is what was really going on. because i do
