What a woman! Does it specify which Kermit Roosevelt? I'm pretty sure Kermit Jr, Teddy's grandson, was a CIA pointman in Iran back in the day who helped destabilize the government to help the Shah seize power, which in turn, due to the Shah's halfassed reign, led to the Islamic revolution.

Old story, well known. Sorry - don't mean to step you your post... Also - the story of the Hollywood box office star...Hedy Lamarr. Beautiful and exceedingly smart - and a key mind in the infancy of the science of radar detection. She saved many a soul. http://www.aegis-systems.co.uk/history/lamarr.html Edited August 14, 2008 by stuckincincy

Many people thought that Julia was English by birth. Nope...she was American through and through, born in Pasadena, California. You can't get more American than that.
