Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, 1884 -1962
All of us who look back on our childhoods have imperfect memories of them. Eleanor Roosevelt was no exception. The difference from most of us is that Eleanor published her memories, which are the only source of information available about her childhood. As James Kearney points out in his book, Eleanor makes contradictory statements about her childhood. "I was lonely as a little girl," vs. "I can never remember being lonely." "...The rigidity of my early bringing up," contrasted with "no one disturbed me [if] I...forgot to appear at meals." The contradiction of books that strangely disappeared when she started reading them and the statement, "I was brought up in a home that did not believe in censorship." And there are others. However, none of these contradictions detract from the main facts of the sad childhood of this fascinating lady--a lady whose life proved that a difficult childhood doesn't require a person to become a difficult adult.

Midnight Ride Through Georgia: Passing the GI Bill
The GI Bill of Rights did more to create today's American society than any other single piece of 20th Century legislation. But its timely passage in the spring of 1944 was nearly sabotaged by a withheld proxy vote. Only a manhunt for a missing congressman and a wild ride through the Georgia night could save the day.
