"Action, and action now" -- "Moley! Moley! Moley! Lord God almighty!" -- "The hardest-boiled man in Washington" -- "Good farming ; clear thinking ; right living" -- "Good Lord! this is a revolution!" -- "'Social justice'... has been the maxim of her life" -- "Just so we get a public works program" -- "He must be part of this historic show" -- "People don't eat in the long run - they eat every day" -- Epilogue : "A lot happened out of that determination of a few people, didn't it?".
Brings to life a fulcrum moment in American history--the tense, feverish first one hundred days of FDR's presidency, when he and his inner circle completely reinvented the role of the federal government in response to the Crash of 1929 and its consequences.
