...around the President-Tommy Corcoran, Harry Hopkins, Ben Cohen, Adolf Berle Jr., William O. Douglas, Felix Frankfurter, William Bullitt, Robert H. Jackson, Samuel I. Rosenman, and the other "brain guys"-pass unrecognized on any streets but Washington's. The views of each of these Presidential advisers differ radically in practically every respect except devotion to the Boss. Berle and The Cork enthusiastically dislike each other; Hopkins has "stabbed" Corcoran so often that the Janizariat often wonders if there is a fresh spot left for the knife.

These had been Mr. Willkie's Farley, Moley, Frankfurter, Rosenman, Howe, Hull, Wallace, Woodin and Tugwell; his braintrust and his backers, working for him-at least at first-against his will. Neither Davenport nor Root knew anything practical about winning votes and influencing people, but they did have faith, and it nearly burned them...
