these are letters, as i said that were written by eleanor roosevelt to eleanor morgenthaler ."arest darling eleanor, i have always felt that you are hurt often by an imaginary things and have wanted to protect you. but if one is to have a healthy, normal relationship, i realize it must be on some kind of equal basis. you simply cannot be so easily hurt, life is too short to cope with it. much. much, much love always, eleanor. on quote dearest eleanor, i didn't say half of what we wanted when i was talking the other day, i want to love you so much, so i can't take away the feeling you have. it makes me unhappy to feel that it is whirring you, and i want to put my arms around you and keep away all the disagreeable things that have made you feel this way. dearest eleanor, it worries me to have you tire so easily, i wish i could give you some of my toughness, your children will all come out of any phases just as bob has done. they are such grand people, but then you and henry have been wonderful parents. my dear love, dear love, i must run to some wpa project. dearest eleanor, more

roosevelt considered a curse on. while i was reading stories about eleanor, robert morgenthau was seen by eleanor roosevelt herself. bob was eleanor or mrs. roosevelt as he still calls her today. he thought she was the most beautiful woman he had ever met and she was to be his surrogate mother for the rest of her life. i wanted to tell you a little bit about the premise of my book it's a love story that explores how and unlikely relationship like ours had and where it for more than three decades. when i met the new york district attorney robert morgenthau and the 1970s, he was an icon of the establishment dedicated to upholding the law and i was a radical hippie determined to destroy it. [laughter] moreover, he was almost 30 years older than me. we were totally different that we should come together was almost an oxymoron. but the buck is a story of how we realized that sometimes people behind their faÇade are hauntingly unlike. timeless is reviewing our fable and emotions and our highs and lows, how we develop strategies for reinventing your marriage when it floundered. but one of my favorite parts of writing timel

so no first lady had used any mass medium like eleanor roosevelt. in addition to being on radio she had her popular column that was syndicated across the country. and she gave thousands of speeches and eventually better than the one we started out with and eventually she was a pioneer of television. so she touched them all. and so when franklin was elected in 1942 and this was in march the following year. in the following winter of 1932, we are going to hear an actress read recording to provide for this particular radio broadcast including reading a little bit by eleanor roosevelt. and so let me just read you a little bit more. and no one was certain what we would find american culture. the year that he was first elected president, 65% are over the radio. and he spent more than four hours a day listening to radio broadcast. franklin roosevelt was the consummate broadcaster but eleanor was a radio professional. during her years she made 300 radio appearances and for dozens of those broadcast she got handsome fees by advertisers. back then the radio p

eleanor roosevelt, anna eleanor roosevelt roosevelt was born in new york city, and she was born to wealthy parents. they died within two years of each other when eleanor was just under 10. she was raised by her maternal grandmother. theodore roosevelt was her uncle. as far as education, she had private tutors. she went to a convent school. she went to a girls academy in london. but she had no college. having no college was a regret that she had her entire life. she marmarri married her fifth . she had five sons and one daughter. she became first lady at 48 years old, and she served, like i mentioned, a little more than 12 years. unprecedented, never happened before, will never happen again. and she died at age 78. she's buried in hyde park, new york. eleanor roosevelt was a phenomenal woman. difficult for any first lady to live up to eleanor's accomplishments. she was the eyes, ears and legs of fdr. she took full advantage of the way that was paved by florence and by grace and by lou. and what most people don't realize is that the social activism of eleanor started well before she married

but i will close that eleanor roosevelt wrote about him as a foreword to the never published book. >> this is a record of a man's life. and as he tells it, you see not only what might but the struggles and victories and the defeat of a whole group of u.s. citizens. what courage it took, what remarkable stamina to be a first color police man in new york city. qualities of heart and body that were purely personal but above everything else the realization he was fighting not for himself alone, but for his people. that comes out when each is one. congratulations on a life well lived. [applause] who has questions one? >> it is a wonderful story. after he entered the police force was is still stalled? >> it took two years before another black man would join the force then for several decades, the average number of blacks who made it onto the force was only four or five per year. it took quite a long time but by the time he retired retired, by 1960 when he was looking back, there were several thousand. but it took a long time. no matter how many african americans made it onto the force, the

dalton: well, when eleanor roosevelt and franklin roosevelt came to the white house in the middle ofhe crisis of 1933, they told friends, "we'd really like our white house to be like uncle theodore's and aunt edith's." and they were role models for other couples, presidential couples, because they were vigorous and active, but also, they maintained a homey sense, and kept their personal life alive. so, i think she's -- she's a really important organizational pioneer in some ways. susan swain: and you would say? stacy a. cordery: i think the first lady has a fine line to walk between being the sort of embodiment of the -- of the ceremonial aspects of the -- of the job and the kind of global stage that the first lady needs to occupy. and that sort of folks, the home-like, this is your house as well as mine. and edith did that very, very well. the changes she made, the professionalization of the office itself, these all reflected that very clear sense that edith had that we were stepping into a new century, and the future was going to be terrific. susan swain: and on that note, we will

as many are you are aware franklin eleanor roosevelt died and the last person from the cabinet where the opportunity to see him was henry morgenthaler. henry was on his way back from florida because eleanor had just had a heart attack and he stopped at the town on his way up to new york. the next day fdr died and eleanor informed late in the afternoon about the death of her husband she came back to the white house, and was informed that he had died and had to go back to palm springs in order to supervise the funeral arrangements. so in the time that it took for eleanor after she was informed it to get to the plane to go down to fort benning georgia, she took time out of her schedule to call eleanor morgan falls nurse and inform her that the president had died and to turn off the radio so that eleanor may not have had a reversal hearing about the death of the pres. i just thought i'd like to tell you that story about friendship.
