“News and Notes” opens with a report on the campaign to gain the Medal of Honor for Theodore Roosevelt to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the Battle of San Juan Hill in 1998. The report discusses why Roosevelt was denied the medal in the aftermath of the war, and it highlights the work of the campaign’s Congressional sponsors. The article quotes historians Edmund Morris and Nathan Miller from their endorsements of the effort. “News and Notes” reports that Hall of Fame baseball player Jackie Robinson was named Jack Roosevelt Robinson at his birth in 1919 in honor of Roosevelt. Three brief obituaries close out the section.
