nicollo, you are more well-versed in this historical period than am I. If you have pertinent comments, I would appreciate them. Thanks!
You should bone-up on Teddy Roosevelt, Miss Marple.
The History Channel just ran a special on his life, and it was truly interesting.
There are differences of course, but anybody who is intellectually honest would have to admit the uncanny similarity between Teddy's and PJB's philosophies on a wide gamut of issues.
