what happened is she came to interview franklin and eleanor uring the campaign at 32, and eleanor, as she became really close friends. she fell in love with eleanor, and more importantly, she eleanor become the activist fist lady that she did. it was lorraina who came up with holding of eleanor press conferences every week. only female reporters could come. female generation of journalists got their start because every newspaper had to hire a female reporter. the one who came up with the idea of a syndicated column that eleanor wrote every day, the day that her husband died, and really helped eleanor transform the role of ceremonialady from a one activist live in ng did he there, and who was he? >> harry hopkins had been roosevelt's chief new deal man the certain sense during 1930s. he was the head of the work progress administration. he had been a social worker originally. the war broke out in europe in may of 1940, hawkins was staying overnight that night at house, and roosevelt decided that he wanted him nearby. want him to go home. it was really unprecedented. a makes kissinger lo

eleanor was just the opposite. she liked to get places fast, so she only liked to travel by plane, but she would go with him by train, as well. >> a couple of quick points. when did... what year did he die? >> ms. goodwin: 1945. >> do you remember the exact date? >> ms. goodwin: april 12. >> and what year did he contract polio, and then have to have the leg irons? >> ms. goodwin: 1921, when he was only 37 years old, he contracted polio, and i think one of the things i understood more by doing this book than i ever had before, was how much that paralysis was a part of his everyday life. i, like so many people in the country, had assumed that he had conquered the polio somehow and was simply left a bit lame. but, in fact, he was a full paraplegic. he couldn't even get out of bed in the morning without turning his body to the side of the bed, and being helped into his wheelchair by the valet, to get to the bathroom. he couldn't even really walk. he had thick braces on, and if he leaned on the arms of two strong people

she fell in love with eleanor, and more importantly, she probably helped eleanor become the activist first lady that she did. it was lorena who came up with the idea of eleanor holding press conferences every week. only female reporters could come. so a whole generation of female journalists got their start because every newspaper had to hire a female reporter. she was the one who came up with the idea of a syndicated column that eleanor wrote every day, missing only the day that her husband died, and really helped eleanor transform the role of the first lady from a ceremonial to an activist one. and in the course of that she did fall in love with eleanor. eleanor i don't think fully reciprocated it, but they were close enough friends that she wanted her living nearby. so she lived in the white house the entire time during the war. >> also on this second-floor schematic is... you have a room in which harry hopkins lived in. and how long did he live in there, and who was he? goodwin: well, harry hopkins had been roosevelt's chief "new deal" man, in a certain sense. during the 1930's h

>> he was 63. >> how old was eleanor. >> eleanor lasted from 1882 to 1961. so she is sent something. she lasted another 17 years after fdr's death. >> the kids. how many kids were there? >> that's not a happy story in many ways. there were five children. the daughter, anna was the oldest and then there were four sons. jimmy, elliot, john, and somebody whose name -- frank li jr. it was hard for the five of them to grow up in the shadow of the giant oak of their parents. for the -- the five children had a combination of 18 marriages between them. i think they had a hard time apprenticing themselves to becoming people in their own right. they wanted to skip steps and suddenly become important, run for senate or governor. they never got their own confidence on their own. it is not an easy part of this story. >> anna married twice. her second husband jumps out of a hotel room in new york city. how come. >> he was a manic depressive and was under sedation for his psychological illness. they had already separated. he was always troubled. you can see it during their

i think fdr had been in an extraordinary relationship with eleanor. obviously, he shouldn't have had that adulterous relationship during world war i, but when that ended, he was completely loyal to eleanor, who looked after him when he suffered his polio. i find it very moving that at the very end of his life, he did have this charming relationship with a woman he had once loved so much, and who loved him. >> we have time for one or two more questions. to your right, nigel. >> there was a report that over was told by macarthur that he had sent a 40-page memorandum to truman, seeking to inform him that japan was attempting to surrender under terms which would have been acceptable under yalta terms. there was also a report that there was, in 1995, there was a report that the english for the first time, released information that there had been a secret communication from japan to russia in code orange, attempting to negotiate a surrender. simply indicating that the emperor would be retained. do you believe that those happened, and should they have been c

eleanor: it could be.il is probably a warning bell or proxy for other assets and oil oversupply but demand destruction. the rapid bounceback really looks like we have come too far too fast against the real economy backdrop, so it is optimistic relative to fundamentals and that is when the visibility, the future outlook is quite poor at the moment and the sharp contraction we have seen in the real economy and in corporate earnings leaves very little margin for error at current valuations, which are still above average and likely based on what our overinflated earnings estimates. right now, perhaps one of the only certainties we can take is the volatility is going to remain. we are seeing higher lows in the volatility. that is signaling to us alarm bells are still sounding and it is really a traders market, so you want to -- if you are a long-term investor, you don't want to over trade and you want to keep that focus on capital preservation to avoid those behavioral biases that can run you into trouble. i th
