Lee Cullum challenges the conclusions of historian Richard Hofstadter who downplayed the achievements and intellect of Theodore Roosevelt. Cullum claims that Roosevelt was superior to Woodrow Wilson in his handling of diplomacy and big business, and she asserts that Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy had a lot in common.

An illustration of Roosevelt in a dynamic speaking pose and a listing of the officers and members of the executive committee of the Theodore Roosevelt Association appear in the article.
