TR climbed out of the Flyer unassisted with a big grin on his face, after experiencing a series of climbs, dives and stalls in a flimsy kite.
When he was NY City police commissioner, trying to break Tammany Hall, he went out on night time foot patrols in Hell.s Kitchen; after he had been assassinated, he insisted on finishing his speech before going to the hospital.He was a tough cookie.
