6. Saw it . It's *good*.

Most interesting aspect: FDR as lonely, disaffected youth. Dad was, gulp, 53 years old when Franklin was born. Mom doted incessantly for the rest of his life. FDR didn't get out much .

FDR was a social outcast at Groton... just couldn't fit, although he wanted to reeeal bad. Present day analysts speculate that the New Deal was , in part, a way to hit back at the blue blood brats that excluded him.

I did not know that.
