Eleanor Roosevelt

* I read with interest your reprint of the Nov. 8, 1962, front page, wherein you note the election of Edward Roybal, a Mexican American, to the U.S. Congress.

I wonder if you noticed something else interesting on that page. In your obituary of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, nowhere on Page 1 does her given name, Eleanor, appear. One hopes it’s noted somewhere on the jump page--or didn’t women have first names in those days?
