"Recorded with hidden microphones in the Oval Office walls, desks and telephone lines, the tapes captured America's most powerful men making decisions and thinking out loud in candid, unguarded moments: Franklin Roosevelt predicting the start of World War II and strategizing a smear campaign against his opponent; [John F.] Kennedy wrestling with the Cuban missile crisis and griping about the U.S. hockey team's dismal performance overseas; [Lyndon] Johnson agonizing over Vietnam; and Richard Nixon turning the White House into a criminal-evidence warehouse." (FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM) This article features insight into archived presidential recordings which profile the personalities of former U.S. Presidents.
