In a pamphlet written for the Woman’s Roosevelt Memorial Association in 1935, James Lippmann confesses that he became an “unqualified hero-worshipper” of Theodore Roosevelt. Lippmann argues that Roosevelt recognized that the United States had become a world power and that it had to accept the responsibilities and burdens that came with that power, including the building of the Panama Canal. Lippmann asserts that Roosevelt’s knowledge of history created in him an awareness of the pitfalls that the United States had to avoid. A full page photograph of Roosevelt working at his desk at Sagamore Hill in 1905 supplements the text.
