we lost a giant of the roosevelt world. our own pioneering supporter, long-time advisory member, and champion of all things franklin and eleanor roosevelt, the ambassador died yesterday at the age of 91. i know he was with us for the opening program in this series, why the new deal matters and was looking forward to this second installment. but alas it was not to be. so on behalf of the entire roosevelt family, for all of who he made such an enormous difference for so long and was such a good friend, i want to express our deepest sympathy, melinda, katrina, and the entire family, and to salute bill for his years of commitment to the roosevelt house. as some of you may know, we're in the process of fighting to rename the elevator on the west side of the roosevelt house, the very elevator that franklin roosevelt himself once used to navigate the house once he recovered enough strength from his bout with polio, 100 years ago this year, to begin contemplating a return to public life. the elevator in the story of course meant mu

of water in roosevelt's life. as a man stricken with polio as an adult roosevelt spent much of his life in soothing waters of springs and baths to ease his pain. the martin luther king jr. memorial dedicated in 2011 sits on the northwest corner of the tidal basin its location was specifically designed among the cherry trees which are generally in bloom each year on the anniversary of dr. king's death. the memorial design is drawn from a passage in his i have a dream speech in which he says out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. dr. king himself is depicted as that stone of hope emerging from the mountain of despair which sits behind him at the memorial and at the base of of the of that are a number of quotations from his speeches sermons and writings. one of the most famous or perhaps infamous incidents in the history of the tidal basin involved us congressman, wilbur mills chairman of house ways and means committee one night in october of 1974 car being driven erratically down independence avenue was pul

one for each of roosevelts for terms. and its location next to the title basin, signifies the importance of water in roosevelts life. roosevelt spent much of his life, in soothing waters of springs and baths to ease his pain. the martin luther king jr. memorial, dedicated in 2001, sits on the northwest corner of the tidal basin. it was designed, among the cherry trees, which are generally in blue each year, on the anniversary of dr. king's death. the memorial design, is drawn from passages, which he says out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope. dr. king himself, is depicted as that stone of hope, emerging from the mountain of despair. which sits behind him at the memorial. and there are a number of quotations from his famous speeches. one of the most famous, or perhaps infamous incidents in the history of the tidal basin, -- wilbur mills, one time a car being driven down radically driven down the avenue, they had mills and ate an exotic dancer name fanny fox. fox and her panic, jumped out of the limousine, and wen

roosevelt did not like that. one of the things he wrote in the 1930's, he was always attacking the navy for being old-fashioned. he said they were unprepared for modern aircraft warfare because right after pearl harbor is publishers said he was right about his predictions. so it was exciting, funny. the russian post put it on the comics page. not because they thought it was funny, but because it irritated them a lot when it was on the editorial page so they thought they would hide it but pearson said a lot more people read the comics so he was happy. host: he was a quaker. how did that affect his worldview? mr. ritchie: that's one thing i learned. i knew him vaguely. i had read his column for about two years when i came to graduate school in the 1960's but i did not know a lot about him. religion is an important factor in people's lives, but you do not know how important. it comes up enough that i realized it shaped his worldview so on civil rights, for instance, he was not initially in favor of civil right. -- r

craig: teddy roosevelt.on't know that i ever crunched the numbers specifically, but it can't imagine anybody other than teddy roosevelt did it. it was well over 30. you have to define whether a pamphlet is a book or a collection of speeches. i feel confident it was teddy roosevelt. if he were here, he would be announcing that fact. susan: who was the most gifted presidential writer? craig: it was probably lincoln. just in his style of his speeches and books. there are also some surprising presidents. calvin coolidge, maybe even history fans don't have his presidency at the front of their mind. he was such a talented writer. i found a new york times article where they said that calvin coolidge, and this was during his presidency, calvin coolidge is the best literary president since lincoln. he wrote a thank you letter to that author because it mattered to him. susan: you talk about presidential reading as well. which among the presidents were the most voracious readers? craig: for a lot of them, books helped

roosevelt did not like that.rson said it was danishes and roosevelt did not like danishes but he did like breakfast roles. there are funny little pieces like that. there were other cases where he predicted things. he was famous at suggesting things that were about to happen. one of the things he wrote in the 1930's, he was always attacking the navy for being old-fashioned. he said they were unprepared for modern aircraft warfare because right after pearl harbor is -- his editors pointed out, his publishers said he was right about his predictions. so it was exciting, funny. the washington post put it on the comics page. not because they thought it was funny, but because it irritated them a lot when it was on the editorial page so they thought they would hide it but pearson said a lot more people read the comics so he was happy. at least he said he was happy for being there. host: he was a quaker. how did that affect his worldview? mr. ritchie: that's one thing i learned. i knew him vaguely. i had read his column f

roosevelt's gardens. both bloomed with old-fashioned flowers such as snap dragons, pinks, goldenrods, columbine's, flocks, bill foil, gas, hollyhock, and peonies. mrs. roosevelt was pleased with the result. so please she told us it for her official portrait as first lady in the west colonial garden. some of her successors were not nearly so impressed with her handiwork. so, that's how mrs. roosevelt's colonial gardens began to change over the course of the 20th century. her west garden shown at the left eventually became the internationally famous rose garden that we all know and love today. for east plural garden, shown at the rate is now the jacqueline kennedy garden which is less well-known in the rose garden but not as beautiful. my colleagues later today will be telling you all about how this transformation took place. it's a fascinating story, especially for garden lovers such as ourselves. and with that, ladies and gentlemen i'm going to and. there you have it, an abbreviated history of the white h

he mentioned roosevelt.on't thinknk it does him justice although the new deal hasn't not an economic failure but still a success and fdr's greatest success was in the defeat of the empire of japan and nazi germany. and winston churchill could literally save the world and saved europe and america from the axis powers. no amount of praise can be heaped on roosevelt for what he did in world war ii. so there is no debate on world war ii. he is the reason we won world war ii. i've heard that story but there is no evidence to prove it. trying to remember auschwitz was first opened. i i think 1933 or 1935. the us state department or the government probably knew about these things but there is no paper trail and nobody i have interviewed talked about it. i had to rely on what was available to me at the time the trumanru administration documents the documents of newspapers and things like that. and that's when the other camps were discovered early 1945. so the subject of a very good book over when the united states a

what were the particular things that the roosevelts, they have what the kids as well? >> it was just a good time. fdr was not known to make too big of an appearance because he was concealing his disability. but eleanor roosevelt was there, she was very much the leader of the easter egg roll of that time. she is the first lady or president to speak live directly from the easter egg roll on the radio. usually, the weather was rather was very good, there was one year when it was not so good. it was a naturally very very cold. only about 500 kids showed up. which is a very tiny number for something like this. she urged everybody to run around, jump around, have fun, as they warm up. >> while we are talking about presidents of war, tell me what happened during the bush administration when the iraq war were going on? >> yes, so the president and first lady had a great idea that in order to remind everybody that even on the happiest occasions we need to remember the sacrifice that are active duty military is making. they had all the easter egg study yellow for the iraq war, t

in the early 1900s, president teddy roosevelt saw an economy dominated by giants like standard oil and j.p. morgan and the railroads. he took them on and one. they gave the little guy a fighting chance. decades later, during the great depression, his cousin, franklin roosevelt, saw a wave of corporate mergers that wiped out scores of small businesses, crushing competition and innovation, so he ramped up antitrust enforcement eightfold, saving families billions in today's dollars. and helping set the course for sustained economic growth after world war ii. he also called for an economic bill of rights, including the right of every businessman large and small to trade in an atmosphere of freedom, among fair competition and domination from monopolies. between them, they established an american tradition -- and antitrust tradition. it's how we ensure our economy is not people working for capitalism, it's about capitalism working for people. but over time, we've lost the idea that true capitalism depends on fair and open competition. 40 years ago, we chose the wrong path, in my view, follow
