On this day…

… 65 years ago, FDR, the 32nd president of the United States, died of a cerebral hemorrhage in Georgia at the age of 63 and was succeeded by Harry Truman. Strange: I always thought FDR was much older than that. But then I’m getting to the stage where not just policemen, but judges on the UK Supreme Court are beginning to look like youngsters to me. (I write with feeling, because I ran into one of them a few weeks ago at the funeral of a mutual friend.)
