Sara Delano Roosevelt was in labor more than 24 hours before her 10-lb. son Franklin was born, blue and breathless. The doctor urged that she avoid further pregnancies, which she may have done by totally abstaining from sex. Her dedication to young Franklin was of an intensity bordering on the morbid. She kept him in girlish skirts and long blond curls until he was nearly six. Every hour of his day followed a strict schedule: up at 7, breakfast at 8, lessons from 9 to noon...

When he tells the story of what happened 40 years ago, however, he can become a 13-year-old on the spot--suddenly springing from a chair to strike a military pose, demonstrating a march step, or hunching down like a shortstop. In his office he sang the school song that was sung by his classmates the morning of the bombing. As he did, he rose automatically...
