  • Letter to the Editor, The Wall Street Journal, 3-26-09 [One reader took issue with our article, and the Wall Street Journal printed his letter, see FDR Was No Conservative in His First 100 Days.  The reader claims that "FDR was no conservative in his first 100 days," and we agree with it.  The confusion is that, while our piece was entitled, "What Would FDR Do?," an anonymous WSJ headline writer changed it (we saw this only in the newspaper) to, "FDR's Conservative 100 Days."  Our essay noted that the first two actions taken by FDR, in the first two weeks of his administration, were conservative, that this soothed markets and impressed Wall Street, building political capital that was then used to veer left.  Some of those other policies came in the 100 days, many came later.  Read our piece and see if we say anything different!]
