Sixty-six years ago today, Franklin Delano Roosevelt died in Warm Springs, Georgia. It was a place he had come to love--our title is a 1937 quote about Warm Springs--over the twenty years since his first visit. As this date also marks the beginning of the Civil War
sesquicentennial and the fiftieth anniversary of "man in space," the end of the Roosevelt era could be easily forgotten this year. Thanks to William Katz at Urgent Agenda, we have
a glimpse of the complexity and significance of FDR on the anniversary of his passing.
