From the Paper:

"Franklin Delano Roosevelt stood astride the Great Depression and World War II and in many ways brought about a radical change in the United States of America. The era began in the throes of the Depression and ended in triumph, in large part due to the New Deal policies of FDR and his administration. The New Deal, itself emblematic of a troubled time, was a sweeping agenda of reform that was an experiment in big government and the expansion of the executive power base."
