Of course, dude was also pretty tight-assed conservative and pretty fucking racist, but even flirted with socialism during the early FDR years. He was descibed as an "an adequately excellent lover," by his short-time wife. He couldn't handle living in Brooklyn, and tore ass home to his auntie's in Providence after a coupla years.
