Those qualities, so essential to his success as president, were skills he acquired during his eight-year struggle through illness and recovery. Becoming FDR traces the riveting story of the

That's not just because they don't speak English, but because they are unable to imagine reencountering another ape in the future. Humans, of course, can.
