...During the 1944 campaign, anti-New Dealer Knutson unwittingly played the foil to F.D.R.'s wit by spreading an unfounded rumor: Roosevelt's pet Scottie, Fala, had been left behind during a presidential tour of the Aleutians, and a destroyer had been dispatched 1,000 miles just to bring the dog home. For F.D.R., this was a golden opportunity to add a homey touch to his famed Teamsters' Union address: "Republican leaders have not been content with attacks on me, or my wife, or on my sons . . .

He is Styles Bridges [anti-New Dealing New Hampshire Senator, chairman of the Appropriations Committee, a supporter of the Taft-Hartley Act]. They seemed pleased at the suggestion and they asked, 'Will he take it?' I said, 'He certainly will.' So I got him on the phone at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York...
