		I leave it up to the reader as to whether or not she had a full sexual affair with Lorena Hickok who, when she met her, was the highest paid reporter for the Associated Press.
		Lorena Hickok sort of eclipses that friendship for a period of about six years, but afterwards -- this is in Volume Two of my biography -- Earl Miller is really back and much more important again in Eleanor Roosevelt's life.
		I think one of the sad stories of social history is that Lorena Hickok who was really a pro -- and I really spent a lot of time developing her life and her character because she was very important to Eleanor Roosevelt.

		She visited thirty-two states and and her writings are primary, eye-witness reports that are rich resources for those who interested in the human face of the depression as well as the difficulties inherent in undertaking a massive federal relief program.
		Hickok believed relief itself was an ineffective response to unemployment and the problems of that one-third of a nation President Roosevelt said must be assisted.
		The editors' work in compiling Hickok's reports is commendable and the University of Illinois Press's reprinting of this book is especially timely given current debates about the purpose and function of federally directed public welfare programs and services.

	Empty Without You
		It was then, while Hickok traveled for months at a time, that the women engaged in an intense correspondence that continued for 29 years.
		Streitmatter's frequent editorial comments are hit-or-miss: those that highlight Hickok's critical role in encouraging the reluctant Eleanor Roosevelt to use the press to advance her own social and political agenda are well placed, while those that merely highlight the sensual passages add little that cannot be gleaned from the text.
		Although this collection does not definitively answer the question of whether Roosevelt and Hickok had an affair, it does document the American landscape as seen by two intelligent, influential women who loved their country, and each other, with a passion that is rare.
