FDR’s sense of humor was a winner with the press. One day, when he was laid up in bed with a cold, the Post pulled a classic typographical error. The page one headline read: FDR IN BED WITH COED. Hardly had that early edition reached the White House than a Post reporter picked up the phone to hear: ‘This is Frank Roosevelt. I’d like 100 copies of that first edition of the Post. I want to send it to all my friends.’ Alas, the circulation department had scurried out to recover all the papers from the corner stands and destroy them. FDR never got his 100 copies.
