Fiance Killer
Exceptionally rare footage showing President Franklin Roosevelt walking after being stricken with polio has emerged.
The wartime leader, who lost the use of his legs in 1921 while aged 39, spent seven years struggling to walk again – and only ever managed to do so over short distances by leaning on a cane and clasping companions.
Journalists at the time, however, agreed with Roosevelt that it was not in the country’s interests to see him in a wheelchair or walking with difficulty and so his disability was not publicized.
