Til Death Did Us Part, The Story of the Health and Death of Franklin Delano Roosevelt

The awe of celebrity, including presidents, creates the impression of beings who are larger than life, without the problems of the common man. Franklin D. Roosevelt, unbeknownst to many Americans, had significant health issues. These health issues predate his paralytic illness and worsened during his presidency. Efforts to maintain his image as the unconquerable president of the United Sates led to concealment of these problems and, in turn, negatively impacted his medical care. While most previous studies focused on individual health issues, this research will show a continuum of medical problems that not only impacted his presidency but also were impacted by his presidency. It will also consider the role public opinion and the media played in attitudes about his health both during his life and after his death. Ultimately, it will show a mortal man, seen by many as almost mythical, whose health had a tremendous effect on his presidency and possibly history

By layering Ludlam's signature clown with the alternative persona of the fool, Mac provocatively reinvents the Ridiculous, employing it as a tool for political satire. This essay traces Mac's development as a neo-Ridiculous artist in response to the terrorist attacks of 9/11, analyzing four of his foundational works from this period: The Face of Liberalism (2003), Red Tide Blooming (2006), The Be(A)st of Taylor Mac (2006), and The Young Ladies of... (2007). In these key performances, Mac seeks both to resurrect and transform predecessors like Ludlam, providing an example of queer legacy in action
