Heller asks rhetorically if FDR or Kennedy could have exercised world leadership if he had been in Clinton's position.

...This one could run on the History Channel: Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970). A balanced, almost documentary view of winter 1941, including the very distinct possibility that FDR and his top brass knew about it ahead of time.
