Terkel presents program reflecting on individuals' recollection of the day that FDR died and the former President's legacy among younger Americans.

Economist Robert Theobald discusses changes in society, the future’s outlook, and his books “Teg’s 1994” and “An Alternative Future for America II” with Studs Terkel.

Humorist and commentator Mort Sahl talks with Studs Terkel on the roof of Sahl’s Chicago hotel. The two briefly discuss Lenny Bruce’s legacy, but Sahl is quick to discuss a topic he brings up frequently in this interview: American’s criticism of “paranoia” and the U.S. government’s power to persuade. Sahl criticizes his young audiences for being uneducated and discuss the United State’s involvement in the Vietnam War. He also speaks briefly on liberals in Chicago, calling them weak for supporting Daley.
