In her book she recounts the life of Louis Howe, aid to Franklin D. Roosevelt, who according to the author played a pivotal role in FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt's public personalities. Ms. Fenster describes Roosevelt as a injured man, both politically and physically, following his loss as the vice presidential candidate with Governor Cox to William Harding in 1921. This occurred at approximately the same time that Roosevelt incurred an illness that would leave him paralyzed from the waist down. The author recalls the bond that Louis Howe had with the Roosevelts at this time and the significant part he played in spurring FDR back into public office. She responded to questions from members of the audience at the seventh annual Roosevelt Reading Festival. It was held by the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in the Henry A. Wallace Visitor and Education Center in Hyde Park, New York. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/294652-2 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/294652-2 Sun, 25 Jul 2010 19:36:08 GMT A panel discussion was held on President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's policy advisers, focusing on his earliest advisers dealing with the Great Depression.

Ms. Fenster's book examines the development of painless surgery, as first practiced at Massachusetts General Hospital on October 16, 1846, now known in medical circles as Ether Day. According to the author, before the introduction of anesthesia, surgery was constrained by the intolerable pain it produced. The use of ether as an anesthetic originated from three men whose lives were ultimately destroyed by the discovery. They were Horace Wells, a dentist who experimented with nitrous oxide in his practice; William Morton, who learned the concept of painless dentistry from Wells; and Charles Jackson, a Harvard-educated physician who shared his knowledge of ether with Morton. The author's presentation is followed by a question period. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/168290-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/168290-1 Mon, 08 Apr 2002 08:42:01 GMT
