The following was an exchange between Studs Terkel and Alf Landon, many years after Landon ran against FDR in 1936 as the Republican candidate:
Terkel: "Do you feel the New Deal saved our society?"
Landon: "By and large? (Pause.) Yes."
(From the book "Hard Times: An Oral History of Great Depression," by Studs Terkel. New York: Random House, 1970 (p. 336 of New Press paperback edition, 2000))
