Roosevelt's hidden disability Hello, I'm an Italian web journalist and recently I started to write articles also in English. Though I know English since quite a long time, and I kept practicing it through the years, from time to time I still make some mistakes. Here's the beginning of a quite long article I wrote about Roosevelt and its disability: --------------------- Being the most powerful man of the world, hiding to the public his disability and wheelchair and mostly succeeding in his goal. We are talking about the singular story of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, one of the most famous handicapped people who ever lived, who was the president of the United States for 12 years, including the dramatic years of the Second World War. In 1921, at the age of 39 years, Roosevelt was stricken by a serious form of polio, which heavily compromised his legs’ function, but not his determination to climb the ladder of U.S. power. Since he feared that his disability would have reduced his credit, he did the best he could in order to make it appear less serious than it actually was. At the beginning, Roosevelt was completely unable to stand up and walk on his own; soon, though, he learned to stand and to walk short distances with the support of two iron braces applied to his legs. These braces, when he showed up to the public, were wisely hidden behind his pants. This trick surprisingly allowed him to mask the most of his disability.
