The Press: Curious Question
Into Manhattan's big, plushy Yale Club last week went the New York Daily News's Inquiring Fotographer Jimmy Jemail (TIME, July 21, 1941) to ask a strange question: what would you think of a swap of Churchill for Roosevelt?
Four said they thought it would be an excellent thing. Only one said it would not do. Said a sixth: "It would be better than a swap of Roosevelt for Stalin." None got around to asking how it could be done. Neither had Jimmy's boss, Yaleman Joseph Medill Patterson, editor of the Daily News, who mortally hates and fears the President.
