This edition of “News and Notes” opens with a report on the 1989 Theodore Roosevelt Public Speaking Contest for the New York Public Schools. It highlights the growth of the program, notes the involvement of members of the Theodore Roosevelt Association (TRA), and lists the judges and administrators of the annual contest. R. W. Apple, Jr. of the New York Times, compares President George Bush with President Theodore Roosevelt and writes that the two men had some similarities, such as serving in wartime, but that Bush is less flamboyant than Roosevelt. The column notes that Bush had Roosevelt’s portrait placed in the White House Cabinet Room and his bust placed in the Oval Office.
The column reprints letters from John A. Gable and Theodore R. Kupferman from the TRA leadership and lists various speaking engagements undertaken by Gable. A section examines the history of vice presidents running for the presidency after assuming the office and notes that Roosevelt was the first to be elected after the death of the president under whom he served. The column closes with a reminder for TRA members to purchase a new edition of the Theodore Roosevelt Cyclopedia and to purchase past issues of the TRA Journal on microfiche.
Photographs of the Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace National Historic Site, TRA President Theodore R. Kupferman, and two of Roosevelt on horseback appear in the column along with an illustration of both sides of the TRA medallion.
