...Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Hanover, N.H., admits his theory is based on hearsay and circumstantial evidence. In 1963, while a resident at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan, he attended a lecture by George Pack, a renowned cancer specialist. Pack told the audience that Dr. Frank Lahey, founder of Boston's famed Lahey Clinic, had confided to him that he had seen Roosevelt in early 1944 as a consultant and discovered that the President had a spreading tumor. Lahey had so informed Roosevelt, advising him not to run for re-election because he would not live...
Though both Lahey and Pack have since died, Goldsmith believes that there is some corroborating visual evidence in photographs of F.D.R. taken over the years.

Lahey was a member of the first Nieman Fellowship Class in 1938. Once in a while Tom LaVelle, one of the seven mules in the line ahead of Notre Dame's immortal Four Horsemen, would join them...
