ROOSEVELT: The Roosevelt Family name is inextricably linked with Panama. . . . Work on the Canal was begun during Teddy Roosevelt’s administration. . . . James Roosevelt, a Newport Beach resident and a Democrat, is TR’s grand-nephew and FDR’s eldest son. . . . Of the Panama incursion, Roosevelt, who turns 82 on Saturday, says: “The important thing now is to think of the whole hemisphere, rather than (just) Panama. I wouldn’t say I’m satisfied; I would say I’m anxious to see a more detailed and long-range program worked out.”
