In early 1944, with the outcome of World War II by no means
certain, many in the United States felt that FDR, as wartime
Commander-in-Chief, was an indispensable part of prosecuting the
war to a victorious conclusion. Yet although only 62, Roosevelt was
mortally ill with congestive heart disease - a fact that was
carefully shielded from the American public prior to the election
of 1944. In a media environment where we get more details about
politicians' health than we sometimes prefer, it is hard to imagine
how a paper as authoriative as The New York Times could describe
FDR's death as "sudden and unexpected" on its front page. Dr. Hugh
Evans looks at the issue of Roosevelt's health not only from a
medical ethics perspective, but also with a keen eye for the
political and media considerations that led to the decision to run
and not disclose the extent of Roosevelt's illness.
