...major initiatives of the New Deal passed only after F.D.R. had convinced Americans that he had his priorities straight.

That's when he grew strong enough to pass his broader agenda. The best way not to "waste a good crisis" is to put the stress on "crisis."

After talking for about half an hour, a timer buzzed on the test and my counselor smiled. “Negative...
...Nikkei index is down 82% from its peak in 1989, and recently hit a 26-year low.) Banks that had once been the envy of the world had to be recapitalized. Growth picked up again after the turn of the century, as demand in China and the U.S. grew, only to be clobbered by the global recession and the collapse of external demand. In January, Japan's exports were an astonishing 46% less than they had been a year before...
