This allegorical map of President Franklin Roosevelt's "Odyssey" is identified as "a free-wheeling trip through the headlines of the last seven years." It was published in the run up to the 1940 Presidential election, in which FDR won his famous third term. While the map includes some Roosevelt successes, it is heavy with negatives, including various declines in the stock market and the growing federal deficit. Henry Luce, the publisher of Time, Life and Fortune, was sharply critical of the New Deal, and personally hostile to Roosevelt. After the President's death, he remarked that it was "my duty to go on hating him." Brinkley 2010, 193.
