I did not infringe upon the policy-making powers that I felt the Constitution gave Congress. But the determination of foreign policy became a presidential concern. When the French Revolution led to a major war between France and England, I refused to accept entirely the recommendations of either my Secretary of State, who was pro-French, or my Secretary of the Treasury, who was pro-British. Rather, I insisted upon a neutral course until the United States could grow stronger.

I was reluctant to campaign for my vice-president in the election to determine my successor. But I did so, not because I was a fan of his but because I didn’t want the opposing candidate, whom I mockingly called “the young genius,” to be elected. I wanted to protect my own record, which the opposing candidate was criticizing.

I rose to fame in the Midwest as the voice of the Chicago Cubs for Iowans who turned into WHO radio in Des Moines, where I re-created Cubs games off the teletype. It was during a spring training trip to Catalina Island, where the Cubbies assembled each February, that I got the idea to go to Hollywood for a screen test.
