Bruce also had clever methods of thinking and different ways to put his thoughts into action. H ...

After spending countless hours hitting and chasing after baseballs, he would often go home and do chinups and lift homemade weights until he was totally fatigued." After supper, "Rocky and his pals often spent hours pummelling a stuffed mail sack that hung from an oak tree in the Marchegiano's back yard....In hot weather, they usually finished their workouts by racing over to Saxton's Spring to get a cold drink of water."

Roosevelt was the first “ust-busting” President; he established many national parks; he sengthened the position of labor forces in sike negotiations; and he began the consuction of the Panama Canal. Often in his seven years in office, Roosevelt interpreted his executive duties broadly, to say the least. Many conservatives worried about Roosevelt overextending his powers, and, on at least a few occasions, he was guilty thereof. Yet did not wish to abuse his office, though he might have. The decisive and benevolent—if possibly unconstitutional—actions that took benefitted America by making i ...
