An interesting article. Long enough at ~500 words and not a Stub, and created on 1 February as noted. References to high-quality sources (books and quality newspapers) are used and have been utilised well. Paraphrasing appears sufficient (note there is a large quote from FDR, but this is correctly attributed and presented as a quote). I'm not able to get access to the New York Times stories, but based on the rest of the article and sources I have no doubt they have been used appropriately and support the article. The hook is suitably interesting and short enough, and is supported by the sources. Ready to go. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 23:28, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
