[Magdalen] FDR Dies.

[cantor03 at aol.com]

In my experience, there was quite a hubbub over this event.  I was 7 at
the time.  This even involved die-hard Republicans like my family.  If for
no other reason than his great length in the Office of Presidency USA (FDR
was on his fourth term) and the facts that he had been guiding us through
the Great Depression and then WW-2, his life and death had big impact.
 
There's that famous New Yorker (I think) cartoon that has son at his father's
knee, with father telling son, "Someday you can be Vice-President."

I remember other things that happened around that time. This just wasn't
