		Jan 18 2006, 11:45 AM Interesting! On the Roosevelt angle, Armanis, this week I saw the biography of Eleanor Roosevelt on American Experience on PBS and they said the five Roosevelt children had had a total of 19 marriages among them! I guess James and Betsey were part of this gristmill.
		It was intimated in the program that the Roosevelt children were constantly disillusioned by their spouses because it often turned out they married them for status to be close to the President.
		It seems that Jock decided that Betsey was the 'right' woman for him to marry, and he stuck to that decision despite constant temptation, to do otherwise.
