Theodore Roosevelt has realized the impossibility of speaking at any given school, no matter how good it is, and despite the “heart-break and anger” it produces. Roosevelt would love to stop into Margaret P. Pascals’s school to give “literally two words of greeting” but not on a set date and so long as it is understood that he will be able to stay for only 5 minutes and that no newspaper reporters know that he has visited.
