“If you want to be great, you have to be a leader. You’ve got to listen to me, son. That’s what we brought you here to do, to be a leader. And you can do it.”
Vernon Davis, Playing Ball: Life Lessons from My Journey to the Super Bowl and Beyond

Steven Lomazow
“FDR Unmasked is first to present convincing evidence of Roosevelt’s battle with prostate cancer, underpinned by FBI memoranda and reliable firsthand information from multiple physicians - even a shocking admission by Eleanor Roosevelt to actress Veronica Lake that her husband was being treated for the disease.”
Steven Lomazow, FDR Unmasked: 73 Years of Medical Cover-ups That Rewrote History
