She was paid a LOT of $$-
Historian Eric Lott claimed Heth earned the impresario $1,500 a week, a princely sum in that era (equivalent to $47,000 in 2025).[9]
Families yes, and before the war Lindberg admired the gains in aviation Germany made, but he never stated any such sympathies. he also shared the intelligence he got from visiting and flying german planes with US-
There is disagreement on how accurate Lindbergh’s reports were, but Cole asserts that the consensus among British and American officials was that they were slightly exaggerated but badly needed.[195] Arthur Krock, the chief of The New York Times 's Washington Bureau, wrote in 1939, “When the new flying fleet of the United States begins to take air, among those who will have been responsible for its size, its modernness, and its efficiency is Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh. Informed officials here, in touch with what Colonel Lindbergh has been doing for his country abroad, are authority for this statement, and for the further observation that criticism of any of his activities – in Germany or elsewhere – is as ignorant as it is unfair.”[196] General Henry H. Arnold, the only U.S. Air Force general to hold five-star rank, wrote in his autobiography, “Nobody gave us much useful information about Hitler’s air force until Lindbergh came home in 1939.”[197] Lindbergh also undertook a survey of aviation in the Soviet Union in 1938.[198]
Lindy wholeheartedly supported the US once the war started. Yes, he was in the “America First” movement, but so were most Americans.
Good points.
Due to the fact that the President needed to be seen as following the same food as everyone esle got due to rationing-
The stringent measures were mostly due to the need for rationing during WWII. During this period, there was an emphasis on stretching food, which affected households across the nation, including the White House.
Is pretty much “warts and all”.
Tom Hanks also.
But here’s my opinion- say you have a Great Person, known for many important acts, who gave selflessly to the public. However- they slept around or did something else the Judeo-Christian majority considers a sin - but it legal. I dont care. I dont care that FDR slept around, for example. (Since Bill Murray was in that film it was pretty good anyway)
Snopes disagrees-
Some versions of this claim state Helen Palmer had cancer, but Snopes could not confirm this piece of her medical history. Nor, given that we could not find any statements from those directly involved, were we able to confirm whether Theodor Geisel started a romantic relationship with Dimond during Palmer’s illness, or whether the alleged affair directly contributed to Palmer’s death.
Good choice- Cromwell was an evil, violent, bigoted man.

It covers his maybe or likely not gay relationship with Tolson. But clearly there was a “Bromance” there. Also Hoover was not a crossdresser. He was not a Good man, however.
