Interviewees discuss the presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1933-1945).
About
“When outgoing President Hoover, looking so glum and President Roosevelt looking so happy, drove down the avenue together in an open car to the Capitol for President Roosevelt to take the oath, and he looked as if he were having the time of his life, that great smile, he was confident, he was taking all this over -- as more than one person has said, that the whole thing turned around right then and there, right in the avenue, right that day, at the inaugural parade." - Robert Trout, Correspondent
