When war broke out after the sinking of the Maine, Roosevelt demanded a commission, explaining that he could not urge others to go to war unless he himself was willing to fight. Helpless without his glasses but ever anxious to assert his manhood, he headed the victorious Rough Riders, a ragtag group of Ivy Leaguers and hard-bitten frontiersmen out to "drive the Spaniard from the New World."

Carter might have recognized what would happen: every other union leader, just to prove his manhood and keep his job, would strive to equal or top that figure. Blumenthal, Strauss and Carter himself repeatedly, if sometimes vainly, cajoled the Federal Reserve to keep credit easy and hold down interest rates. The President might have known that bankers and businessmen, many of whom considered money policy to have...
