...swift interplay of forces began when the plane bringing Henry Wallace back from Chungking touched the runway at Fairbanks, Alaska. Roly-poly Samuel Rosenman, the President's speechwriter and confidant, who is now filling much of Harry Hopkins' old role, was already burning the long-distance wires. He wanted, he said, to see Henry first. But Henry Wallace refused to say anything until he had talked to Franklin Roosevelt...
Some Congressmen think the President has been needled into baiting them by the White House Inner Circle: Harry Hopkins, Sam Rosenman, Felix Frankfurter et al. Last week they were privately blaming the ideas in the tax veto message on Treasury Counsel Randolph Paul, the words on Judge Rosenman.

Sam Rosenman at once became useful to Candidate Roosevelt; he dug up facts for campaign speeches, modestly made many a sound suggestion. Governor Roosevelt made Rosenman his personal counsel, dubbed him "Sammy the Rose." In 1932 The Rose was appointed, then elected to a 14-year term on the New York Supreme Court bench. But for a decade he has remained a trusted Roosevelt adviser, shuttling back & forth-half the week in Washington, where a White House bed was always made...
