Acknowledgments
THIS BOOK COULD not have been written without the assistance of Rhonda Mullins of the Communications Department (President’s Office) of Marshall University. I write in longhand with a ballpoint pen on yellow legal pads. Ms. Mullins not only was able to read my writing but translated it to typescript with remarkable efficiency. Over the course of four years and endless drafts, she provided me with finished copy on a daily basis. I am eternally grateful.
Writing contemporary biography requires consulting vast collections of primary documents. I am indebted to the John and Elizabeth Drinko Foundation for providing the assistance that permitted my frequent visits to the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library at Hyde Park; the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress; the special collections of personal papers at Princeton, Harvard, and Yale; and the Oral History Project at Columbia. John and Elizabeth’s contribution to higher education is truly remarkable. Over the last thirty years they have established nine endowed chairs, supported more than a dozen academic programs, and provided the funds for the construction of the Ohio State University Law School, the Marshall University Library, and the Performing Arts Recital Hall at Cleveland State. Neither John nor Elizabeth was a fan of Franklin Roosevelt, but that did not prevent them from providing unstinting support.
To those who have read the manuscript, I am indebted beyond measure. Their suggestions have been invaluable, and I thank them for the time and effort they generously granted. The entire manuscript was read by the “Gang of Thirteen”—old friends, colleagues, and former students, many of whom helped with Clay, Marshall, and Grant: Thomas Bergquist, Paul Ehrlich, Bennett Feigenbaum, Joanne Feld, Ellen Feldman, Alan Gould, Sanford Lakoff, William Nelson, John Seaman, John Simon, Kelly and David Vaziri, and Frank Williams. Portions of the manuscript were read by George Carter, Michael Donnelly, Harry Moul, Roger Newman, Kent Newmyer, Dan O’Hanlon, and Simon Perry, to whom I am also grateful. My classmates Alan Blumberg and Brice McAdoo Clagett provided valuable assistance pertaining to New York divorce proceedings and the 1932 Democratic National Convention. Dr. Sonya Vaziri of the Harvard Medical School helped me understand the problems of FDR’s hypertension.
