7 Drifting Apart
7 Drifting Apart Numerous attempts have been made, most of them unconvincing, to explain how and why, in the late 1930s, a rift developed between Franklin D. Roosevelt and Jim Farley. Somehow, by 1940, Farley had become so profoundly disenchanted with the Roosevelt administration that he felt compelled to stand against his former boss to contest the 1940 Demo- cratic presidential nomination. It was an extraordinary turn of events that brought an end to one of the most successful political combinations in American history.1 Roosevelt had always maintained a large and changing pool of policy- makers, speechwriters, and political aides, but Farley was part of the elite group that had been an evergreen presence in Roosevelt’s inner circle since the 1928 gubernatorial campaign in New York State. Though their backgrounds were very different—Farley the Irish American and Catholic who, from the age of ten, was raised in a single-parent house- hold; Roosevelt the Dutch Episcopalian born into a life of wealth and privilege on a Hyde Park estate—but their shared interest in the politics of upstate New York and enthusiasm for the Democratic Party brought them together. Theirs was a formidable and famous partnership, one that allowed both men to achieve positions of enormous power and in›uence, express their considerable political talents, and make a lasting contribution to the politics of the United States. So, what went wrong? Previous accounts of the Farley-Roosevelt split have portrayed it as a dramatic example of how con›icting personal loyalties terminated a political partnership. Farley’s second autobiography falls into this cate- 143 144 Mr. -

ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: CAPITAL AND CULTURE: WILLIAM WILSON CORCORAN AND THE MAKING OF NINETEENTH- CENTURY AMERICA Mark Laurence Goldstein, Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Dissertation directed by: Dr. David Sicilia Department of History Capital and Culture: William Wilson Corcoran and the Making of Nineteenth Century America explores the fascinating life of one of the nation’s earliest and most successful political insiders, financiers, philanthropists, and shapers of the emerging cultural elite. Corcoran helped establish and normalize many important components of modern American culture. He played a key role in stabilizing and merchandizing U.S. financial securities at home and abroad and was responsible for significant developments in public debt war finance. He was also successful as one of the first professional lobbyists in the capital city. Corcoran encouraged and legitimated American landscape painting and probably established the country’s first true art gallery. Corcoran’s tireless efforts to improve the nation’s capital were a remarkable early model of urban development. His dedication to landscaping the emerging National Mall predates such plans for New York’s Central Park, which scholars often characterize as the oldest urban park in a major American city. A generation before Carnegie and Rockefeller spent vast sums of money on large donations, Corcoran helped shape American philanthropy. He gave away the majority of his fortune in major gifts to institutions and to needy individuals. Corcoran was among the first philanthropists to expand charity’s reach beyond one’s immediate community and he established a pattern of national giving across specific areas of interest or need. Corcoran championed a view of national reconciliation and southern repair simultaneously born out of the Civil War. -
Portrait Miniatures in the New Republic
he stunning events of July 1804 were almost unfath- omable for the citizens of the new American republic. One Founding Father had fatally wounded another. TAlexander Hamilton was dead and Aaron Burr would be indicted for murder. The duel and its aftermath marked a turning point in American culture. Five days before the Burr-Hamilton duel, Edward Greene Malbone arrived for a week’s stay in New York. Considered the Portrait finest miniaturist in the United States, Malbone was attractive, popular, already exceedingly successful, and only twenty-six miniatures years old. As Hamilton’s massive funeral snaked up Broadway on July 14, he was meeting twenty-five year-old Anson Dick- Left to right, from facing page, bottom: in the New inson for the first time.

The painting was not worth the visit, but my curiosity was piqued by another piece in the collection, a self-portrait by the looks of it, painted by an unidentified artist (fig. 1). Because it was covered with layers of dark varnish, I suggested to the owner that he have it cleaned. Unexpectedly, the restorer uncovered the full signature of the artist, “Francesco Mezzara,” as well as a date, 1806. -
The Federal Communications Commission and the New Deal
UNIVERSITY of PENNSYLVANIA JOURNAL of LAW & PUBLIC AFFAIRS Vol. 4 May 2019 No. 3 THE SHALLOW STATE: THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION AND THE NEW DEAL Daniel R. Ernst* American lawyers and law professors commonly turn to the New Deal for insights into the law and politics of today’s administrative state. Usually, they have looked to agencies created in the 1930s that became the foundation of the postwar political order. Some have celebrated these agencies; others have deplored them as the core of an elitist, antidemocratic Deep State. This Article takes a different tack by studying the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and its predecessor the Federal Radio Commission (FRC), an agency created before the New Deal. For most of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s first two presidential terms, the FCC languished within the “Shallow State,” bossed about by patronage-seeking politicians, network lobbyists, and the radio bar. When Roosevelt finally tried to clean up the agency, his success or failure turned on whether the FCC could hire the kind of young, smart, hard-working lawyers who at other agencies had proven themselves to be the “shock troops of the New Deal.” Only after James Lawrence Fly, formerly general counsel of the Tennessee Valley Authority, became chairman and hired lawyers like himself did the FCC set sail. It cleaned up its licensing of radio stations and addressed monopoly power in the industry without becoming the tool of an authoritarian president or exceeding its legislative and political mandates. * Carmack Waterhouse Professor of Legal History, Georgetown University Law Center.

Their surviving children were: William, Jr. (1766), Ann (1770), Peter (1772), Catherine (1774), Washington Irving (April 3, 1783 – November 28, Ebenezer (1776), John Treat (1778), Sarah (1780) and Washington.[1] 1859) was an American author, essayist, biographer, his- torian, and diplomat of the early 19th century. He is best known for his short stories "Rip Van Winkle" (1819) and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" (1820), both of which appear in his book The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent.. His historical works include biographies of George Washington, Oliver Goldsmith and Muhammad, and sev- eral histories of 15th-century Spain dealing with sub- jects such as Christopher Columbus, the Moors and the Alhambra. Irving served as the U.S. ambassador to Spain from 1842 to 1846. He made his literary debut in 1802 with a series of ob- servational letters to the Morning Chronicle, written un- der the pseudonym Jonathan Oldstyle. After moving to England for the family business in 1815, he achieved in- ternational fame with the publication of The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. in 1819–20. He continued to publish regularly — and almost always successfully — throughout his life, and just eight months before his death (at age 76, in Tarrytown, New York), completed a five- volume biography of George Washington. Irving, along with James Fenimore Cooper, was among the first American writers to earn acclaim in Eu- rope, and Irving encouraged American authors such Watercolor of Washington Irving’s Encounter with George Wash- as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Henry ington Wadsworth Longfellow, and Edgar Allan Poe. -
