The term “fierce” applies to weather extremes — cold or hot.
She really does want to talk to you about how Dewey did not defeat Truman.
And she recently discovered how the media unfairly maligned Eleanor Roosevelt in the 1930s-40s. She still believes LBJ was an uncouth Texas farmhand. And she and Bob adored Danny Kaye, met him at O’Hare Airport in the late ’40s, early 1950s.
