Extra Credit Questions

[Joe Di Cola]

Hi Joe: Mr. Hay said it to President Roosevelt. Roosevelt kept Hay on in the post that he was serving under McKinley.

Bill,

I was thinking about reading the new bio of Hay that was just released, but have only read one review of it. It was well-reviewed. Have you seen or read it?

Joe

Joe,

I'm reading it now. So far it's very good.

Thanks, Rob,

I am reading and thoroughly enjoying Joseph Ellis' new book, and will consider the Hay bio for later. One of the most provocative books I ever read that included the Hays was "The Five of Hearts" about the friendship among Henry and Clover Adams, the Hays, and a person whose name I can't recall right away, but who I believe was an archaeologist. I loaned out my copy years ago and never got it back! Drat!

All the best,

Joe
