I think Callender was the guy that fabricated the story about Jefferson sleeping with his slaves - which people believe to this day.

He also called him a hermaphrodite.

Nearly a century ago... much of the press obliged FDR's request not to photograph him in his wheelchair or other assisted positions. However, those who defied such requests would have their cameras seized and film destroyed by the Secret Service. Are things worse or better today? Sometimes I hear gun owners say how terrible things are today... then I remember how draconian gun carry laws used to be not so long ago.

Like most things, we tend to romanticize the past but it's usually a more complicated picture.
