Roosevelt’s New Deal. “Polio gave FDR the gift of empathy. There was no suffering that he could not in some sense relate to,” George explained. “Just as the irons were clapped on his legs, the steel entered his soul by having to fight through the constant pain of therapy that was unforgiving in its demands and not very fulfilling in its success.”” Episode 1.2 Theodicy and the Red Ball https://faceinhat.podbean.com/e/episode-2-theodicy-and-the-red-ball/ Not sure about the last Shaker Eric mentioned, but this is probably relevant: There Are Only Two Shakers Left.
