The Roosevelts, as seen on TV

This evening I'm watching the second episode of "The Roosevelts, An Intimate History" on PBS. It's a fascinating look at the early years of the 20th century and the roles played by Theodore, Eleanor and Franklin and many more family members.  The series certainly doesn't seem to be sugar coating anything, but still the three are coming across as "heroic" people weaving their influence through some amazing years in our country's history.  While I highly recommend the series, it does not leave me wishing for more wealth, influence or power.  Well, ok, maybe more wealth.
