  1. Yeah, pretty much all of the troubles, post WW-I and up to this day, in Europe, Russia and the Middle East and North Africa can be assigned to having a PhD (in political science!) as the US President.

    Or maybe to his wife after she took over from him?

  2. When I was in college, eons ago, one of my History professors, a New Left type who liked pointing out the darker side of American History (but was able to criticize Democrats as well as Republicans), went into the suppression of free speech during WWI; and said that young FDR called the lynching of some anti-war Wobblies “an act of red-blooded Americanism,” or something like that. Anyone know if my memory, or the teacher’s statement, was correct on this? I’ve been trying to find some verification of the lynching, and FDR’s endorsement of it, for decades now’ but even with the Internet making such things easier, I can’t find any verification.
