And then there came a sharp, compelling cry-the most awesome, happiest sound known to human ears-the cry of a newborn baby. The first child...

Author Hilliard ranged gushingly from the "one so slight that it is a sigh to one so profound and deep that it results in an agonizing cry ... a small death."

More and more often Ike would pop his head out of his office, look around and inquire: "Where's Jim?" Says another White House staffer: "He just wants to know where Jim is because, I guess, he feels better when Jim is around." Usually Hagerty still has to check with the President before answering...
...then on it is easy. The wily Howe and the sturdy cripple combine to fashion a comeback, and the younger man continues to grow until the climax of his nominating speech for Al Smith in 1924. Bellamy now shows a Roosevelt who retains the sharpness that had given him profound early successes, but has learned to temper it with patience...
