Distantly GR-related: New Documents Reveal FDR’s Eugenic Project to ‘Resettle’ Jews During World War II

[Kai Frederik Lorentzen]

"Slothrop was going into high school when FDR was starting out in the White House. Broderick Slothrop professed to hate the man, but young Tyrone thought he was brave, with that polio and all. Liked his voice on the radio. Almost saw him once too, in Pittsfield, but Lloyd Nipple, the fattest kid in Mingeborough, was standing in the way, and all Slothrop got to see was a couple wheels and the feet of some guys in suits on a running-board. Hoover he'd heard of, dimly---something to do with shack towns or vacuum cleaners---but Roosevelt was HIS president, the only one he'd known. It seemed he'd just keep getting elected, term after term, forever."   (pp. 373-374)
