Mine: the Arrival
“Any formal appointment would involve advisors and God knows who else, but, as luck would have it, the day after Durant became aware of Titan, FDR had left Washington to spend a couple of weeks in Warm Springs, Georgia. Though the president would still be surrounded by his people, Durant thought the more relaxed nature of the trip would provide the opportunity he needed. He hopped on the first train south he could get. The president spent much of his time at the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation, ...a facility he’d helped found that was dedicated to the improvement of those with polio. The mountain water in the facility’s swimming pool was said to contain healing properties. Durant knew his window of opportunity would be small, so he practiced over and over what he would say. His chance came two days after he arrived. That evening, Roosevelt was to have dinner with the residents of the foundation. Durant used his military credentials to get into the facility and then waited for the right moment.MoreLess
