the los angeles times book award in 1992, for the first of her three volumes on the life of eleanor roosevelt. she's here today to talk to us about the third, a fascinating book, how eleanor labored so hard to persuade her husband to live up to the ideals of the new deal and she had been more successful in the early years, but became too much of a-- it became too much of a strain. she didn't win her battle. she had to compromise on political policy, just as she did in her marriage. susan quinn offers another look at the relationship between fdr and his wife in her fascinating book " eleanor and him: the love affair that shaped a first lady". lorraine hickox was a writer who covered eleanor and became-- they became lovers and more than that she helped shape and guide eleanor. finally, trying to-- trend to, she's a journalist and while on assignment here los angeles she happened upon a great statue by paul conrad, the famous cartoonist and a chain reaction. big tall statue in a park in santa monica right across the street and it was going to be torn down and it was saved largely from a huge con

what if eleanor roosevelt could fly? they had a picture of eleanor roosevelt with wings. what if adams had defeated jefferson and you didn't have the regime change? what if john quincy adams was reelected in 1828? what if he defeats andrew jackson? jacksonian democracy does not develop. what if he had been defeated in 1860? that could have been better, maybe the south would not have broken away. maybe the north would have broken away over slavery. i don't know the answer to this question. but it matters. uber defeats fdr -- hoover defeats fdr. he is not moving us in the right direction as far as the great depression is concerned. here is one, carter is reelected in 1980, rather than reagan, what does that mean for our country? what does that mean for the economy at the time? what does that mean for the place in the world? what would that mean for the iranian hostages? reagan was transformative. that is why it matters, when you go through each one of those elections, you can see that it makes a difference between war and peace, union of the country or confederacy, prosperi

i know that you think that she, eleanor roosevelt, broke the mold. we all know she broke the mold. let me just give you another example of her just to confirm. there she is, she broke the mold. but who made the crack in that mold? the subject of our talk tonight, florence harding. florence harding was a very influential first lady because she created a model for other first ladies to follow. a way they could carve out their own influence in american culture and politics in a way that eleanor and others were probably more active and others probably would not go quite in that direction. florence's model was ground breaking and others would follow. she helped pave the way for activism we have seen growing in the last century since she was in power. she was well recognized at the time for her old lives in the nation's affairs. she was the first first lady to vote for her husband. i forgot, i have this nice little gadget. i have a picture of what people thought about her voting. she came into power at a time when first ladies have never voted for their husbands before. it was very excit

[laughter] yeah. one was lizzie mcduffy who was really a maid but would help out with the food, and this was a woman named daisy bonner who cooked for roosevelt when he would go to warm springs, georgia -- >> because unlike his wife, he appreciated good food. >> absolutely. so he would go for two to three weeks at a time, and a wealthy white family loaned their african-american cook to him, this woman named daisy bonner. so if the first lady and the white house physician were with him, they knew the food wasn't going to be great because it would adhere to

t-mobile and milestone communications are hoping to build a cell tower at eleanor roosevelt high school. it would be more than 100 feet tall. the companies say that power would help improve network coverage. but neighbors argue it would be a danger to their health. >> it's dangerous to everybody. it's dangerous to the health of children. it's dangerous to our property values and it's generally not accepted by our community. >> now milestone says it uses a third party company to test safety at all tower sites so limits for emissions. they're setting up a tower to show what the tower will look like. we have that in the nbc washington yes, i am. search cell tower. >>> as many students are discovering their college options for national decision day next week. >> now many are changing to get the packages quicker. >> the holdup comes after irs cited a data breach. as a result, thousands of students were unable to completely the application process or were chosen for further verification. >> now, colleges and universities are no longer required to collect tax return transcripts or verification

the problem was eleanor roosevelt was uninterested in food.for much of our presidential history, the first lady had an active hand in the food operations. she knew what her husband liked, she, she would made sure what her husband wanted and needed. she was also the one that would save the president from themselves because often presidents would like to stray from their diet and get comfort food and junk food. eleanor roosevelt meets harry at nesbitt in new york and henrietta couldn't cook. >> is your sister? no, a white woman. you had this team of african-american cooks who she supervised. they had to put something good out. but what we find out from memoirs is that henrietta would stand behind them and correct the seasoning. she messed everything up. it was so bad you all that when people got invited to a state dinner at the white house they ate before they went.

of course, eleanor roosevelt -- how can you not? really had her heart in the right place in so many causes. she was so ahead of her time. i wish i had more time to talk about her. she spoke out against racial discrimination, she spoke of four women. she spoke out on so many causes, and she was tireless. one of the reasons i think husband tried to take a break with lehand and so many others. but she never stopped with her activism. it was a little much, maybe, to deal with that. she is someone to really admire. over here. >> tying up with your point of view that he was kind of liked, and you showed the train and all the crowds, i wondered that at that time, there was not much to do. people went out, because that was the only thing exciting. [laughter] so how can you judge how much she was loved in any situation? dr. sibley: excuse me. that is a very good question. because, if we think about it, there were a number of these kinds of memorial trains. there was robert kennedy in 1968. really very sad. that theyto think mean something. b

that goes back to eleanor roosevelt. that's not trump.rump is about fighting against the terrorists. one of the reasons that he so light flagrant putin is that we should be joining with the russians to defeat the terrorists. >> harris: ices has gotten bigger on the ground in syria. we'll move on, i'm sure this will come back. a striking back at evil. that's also what we are talking about, the u.s. is fighting a barrage of missiles at a syrian air base used in the horrific chemicals attack. we are live next from the pentagon. how president trump's quick action on syria differs from that of his predecessors. let's get into that. that's really important. stay close with my moderate to severe crohn's disease,... ...i was always searching for ways to manage my symptoms. i thought i had it covered. then i realized managing was all i was doing. when i finally told my doctor, he said humira was for people like me who have tried other medications,... but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. in clinical studies, the

here he is talking about eleanor roosevelt, how did he get that religion. >> he's becoming an internationalist, apparently. i think it's not a lot different than what david said. once in office, he figured out that he needs the cooperation of leaders, other countries and the diplomatic processes and all kind of complicated annoying things that go with that, in order to get anything done. and i don't believe he's got some radically new view of how valuable the united nations is, but he knows that trashing the united nations is -- if he wants to get sanctions, new sanctions on north korea, which can happen as soon as friday, chinese help, he's going to say reasonably nice things. >> george and david, most of the time i worry about kim. i worry about the guy. the question of mental stability is not so important. emotional knowledge of what would happen if knowledge of life. i mean, if we scare him too much, if he looks like we're coming in to get him. if he misses the rhetoric for what we're coming in. he might launch the artillery, someone destroyed that country. >> bush and obama has looked at
