The magazine also explored Eleanor Roosevelt's political legacy with Noemie Emery's piece questioning whether the Democratic party had become more Eleanor's than FDR's. Additional coverage included Fred Barnes on Senator Dole's potential victory on health care and John Haynes and Harvey Klehr's examination of the Venona case, challenging the martyrdom narrative surrounding its subjects.
