...these days of tension ... we must all stand together . . . fulfill our obligations to the nation, regardless of political or partisan considerations," Franklin Roosevelt wrote last week, canceling a political engagement and making Republicans wonder how far non-political national unity is expected...
...Taxed but far from exhausted by two weeks of day-night vigil, the President journeyed to Hyde Park for a weekend rest. With his mother he drove through the rain to St. James Episcopal Church at Hyde Park, where he heard the Rev. Frank R.
