Interesting program. Learned FDR had terrible sinus problems Dec 7-8 and they didn't have antibiotics to treat the problem. The common prescription? Liquified coccaine (sp) on a cotton swab.

When delivering perhaps the most remembered speech of the 20th century, FDR was high on coke. Amazing.

I've always found it interesting how much FDR and Cordell Hull (Sec State) disagreed over the Speech leading up to it.

It's also weird to me that speculation now is Guillain-Barre syndrome and not Polio caused his disability.
