Subject: However, Lemora, you are right - I am drawn more and more to non-fiction. Latest on my list are the Hemings and the Vanderbilts.

  • I loved Vol. 1. But, while I am fascinated by the whole New Deal era, I have to admit that descriptions of the various programs in vol. 2. feel like they were lifted in chunks from old brochures in some of BWC's writing. (If you found #1 hard rowing, you'd really be put off by #2.) These descriptions are interwoven with descriptions of the dramas and traumas of ER's inner circle, her marriage to FDR, his presidential challenges, political games, and the gathering clouds in Europe in the 1930's.>>>> -- Lemora-wants weekend at Campobello, 13:15:16 06/19/09 Fri
