	FDR Biography - Childhood and Youth. Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute
		FDR left Columbia without taking a degree, but he passed the New York bar examination in 1907, and spent the next three years practicing law as a junior clerk at Carter, Ledyard, and Milburn, a prominent New York City law firm.
		A year later, FDR asked for her hand, and the two of them were married on March 17, 1905.
		She was also the niece of a man FDR much admired, Theodore Roosevelt, who was President at the time of their marriage and gave Eleanor away in the absence of her deceased father.

	The history of the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial
		FDR served as the President of the United States from 1933 until his death in 1945.
		A sampling of the many quotations of FDR sketched into the memorial are: "This generation has a rendevous with destiny." "I see one-third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, and ill-nourished.
		It was during his first inaugural address FDR spoke what are perhaps his most famous words, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." During his first four years, FDR created thousands of jobs for people from all walks of life.

	American President
		In foreign affairs, FDR committed the United States to the defeat of the fascist powers of Germany, Japan, and Italy, and led the nation and its allies to the brink of victory.
		FDR grew up under the watchful eyes of his mother, whose devotion to her only child was considerable, and a host of nannies.
		FDR was roundly praised for his efforts and the leaders of the Democratic Party tabbed him as a Democrat to watch.

	Conservative Intellectuals Embrace FDR, Jump Off Cliff by Jim Powell
		FDR came to power in March 1933, the worst point of the Great Depression, with a quarter of workers unemployed, and during the next three months there were heartening signs of a rebound.
		FDR tried to revive the failed National Industrial Recovery Act, and when this effort didn’t go anywhere, he launched an unprecedented barrage of antitrust lawsuits against about 150 large employers and industries, keeping businessmen tied up in court, rather than focusing on growth and jobs.
		FDR promoted government monopolies, the biggest of which was the Tennessee Valley Authority, subsidized by the 98% of American taxpayers who didn’t live in the Tennessee Valley and exempt from state and federal taxes and regulations.

	FDR Scandal Page
		FDR, as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, had approved the use of decoys to entrap homosexuals (young sailors were instructed in and ordered by FDR's men to perform homosexual acts and the details truly are unprintable).
		FDR gave a speech in Troy, NY, 3 March 1912, in which he laid out his philosophy - he placed the "liberty of the community" over "the liberty of the individual." He said competition was bad but cooperation was good.
		FDR was so distraught that he not only totally lost control of his emotions but also control of his body functions- he was bedridden for a month.

		FDR’s hunch, Hopkins’ glowing reports on Stalin, and Davies’ boundless trust in the Soviet regime were the President’s counters to the admitted facts about Hitler’s recent ally, history’s greatest mass-murderer, and the sole ruler of a party and state dedicated to worldwide communism.
		FDR was playing hard to get, testing his own theory that Stalin was “get-at-able.” He turned down an offer from the Persian Shah to stay in the Golistan Palace, stating that his own place was fully adequate.
		FDR, like his gullible emissaries Hopkins and Davies, insisted on showing his cards, hoping to win over the man who liked to torture and destroy his friends, just as he liked to torment and humiliate his foreign allies before accepting their gifts of land and humanity.

	EDSITEment - Lesson Plan
		The ostensible purpose of FDR's 1941 State of the Union was not to comment about freedom in the abstract, but to persuade a reluctant Congress to pass the Lend-Lease Act.
		Explain to the class that FDR's goal in giving the "Four Freedoms" speech was to persuade Congress to end American neutrality in World War II through the passage of the Lend-Lease Act.
		FDR's speech presents an opportunity to highlight a subtle distinction that has troubled political philosophers through the ages: the distinction between "freedom FROM" and "freedom TO." Notice that two of FDR's four freedoms are framed as freedom to do something: freedom to speak one's mind and freedom to worship as one sees fit.

	FDR Drive
		1966: The FDR Drive between East 14th Street and East 42nd Street was converted from a boulevard to a controlled-access parkway.
		The three-level tiered section of the FDR Drive through this area carries northbound traffic on the lower level and southbound traffic on the middle level, and has parks and private gardens on the top deck.
		In one plan expected to cost $35 million, designers envisioned converting the northbound lanes of the FDR Drive from the Battery Park Underpass to the Brooklyn Bridge (or the South Street Viaduct section) into a pedestrian esplanade; the southbound lanes of the highway would then be converted into two-way use (one lane in each direction).

	Fear Itself: FDR's Inaugural Address - Mises Institute
		FDR appeared to be under the delusion that he was the leader of the American nation and not just the head of the second of three branches of a circumscribed federal government:
		FDR had "vision." He needed it to see how high government spending would rise under his reign and to see how far American troops would be dispersed around the globe to fight the world war he maneuvered us into.
		FDR promised "efforts to raise the values of agricultural products and with this the power to purchase the output of our cities." To FDR, Say’s Law meant "What I says is the law." But what he says is not necessarily the truth.

	The Washington Monthly
		FDR was proposing only that the temporary old-age plan put in place for seniors prior to SS becoming self supporting (funded half by the feds, half by the states) would eventually go away and be replaced by SS as know and love it today.
		FDR was sometimes ambiguous on purpose, and I think it's unfair to accuse a person of dishonesty if he interprets this sentence differently than you do.
		Fdr's distinction between government funded and self-supporting related directly to phase 1 where persons having never paid into a system would have received benefits as opposed to phase 2, the system we now have, where everyone that receives benefits has paid into the system or is a dependant of someone who paid into the system.

	False Discovery Rate
		A FDR threshold is determined from the observed p-value distribution, and hence is adaptive to the amount of signal in your data.
		FDR is more sensitive than traditional methods simply because it is using a more lenient metric for false positives.
		Note, since FDR is based on the empirical distribution of the p-values, the natural "corrected p-values" are not necessarily monotonic; monotonicity is enforced, but sometimes this results in odd p-values (e.g.

		FDR paid $195,000 for the property, two-thirds of his personal fortune.
		Seventy per cent of it, seven hundred thousand dollars, has been used and is being used today to help young people and middle-aged people and old people in getting well in their own respective communities in every State of the Union.

	Pearl Harbor - Mother of All Conspiracies
		FDR needed the attack to sucker Hitler to declare war, since the public and Congress were overwhelmingly against entering the war in Europe.
		FDR was the architect of the attack plot from the oil embargo to the ultimatum to the final touches of deciding who would live and who would die.
		FDR was a traitor for maneuvering Japan into war with US - and that is known and admitted - FDR was a traitor for sacrificing American lives, for putting America in danger, for usurping the Constitutional power of Congress to make war.

		FDR issued antitrust lawsuits against some 150 employers and companies, making it harder for them to focus on business.
		In addition to FDR's Folly, the only major work mentioning evidence about the economic consequences of the New Deal is by Stanford University political historian David M. Kennedy: his 1999 book Freedom from Fear won the Pulitzer Prize.

		FDR’s intellectual team included three academics, Raymond Moley, Rexford Tugwell and Adolph Berle, plus Henry Morganthau, his Treasury Secretary.
		The cards dealt out in the New Deal were pieces of fascist, communist, Keynesian and monetarist ideas, plus a sustained commitment to a revival of free trade under the reciprocal trade agreements worked out by Secretary of State Cordell Hull.
