Such mild expressions as "the candor, courage and conscience of your humane leadership" must have seemed routine to F.D.R., next to the uninhibited assurance that "You know how I have felt about you as a symbol of manliness . . . the symbol that is forever one of our great national possessions-utterances-as rare as they are precious, that will live forever in the amber of history."
