solve their problems is indeed satisfaction.

I realized, as I sat talking to Al then, that he was going to keep looking backward at his job, and that he was a psychological hazard. He must be gotten out of his mood. I said to him that day, “Look here, Governor, you've got to forget about the State of New York. Go somewhere, look at something else, get involved in something else. You wanted to be President, and we all planned and thought that you would be President. That would have solved the problem for you, but let this man fumble around. Don't you keep yourself worried about him, because you've laid the foundation that will never be shaken. What you've put down here now as a mat for the State of New York is going to stay there forever. Even Republicans can come and go and they won't be able to interfere with that. It's a good, sound pattern. You can always be thankful for that,” and so forth.

I went to see Mrs. Moskowitz almost immediately to say that I thought Al needed an occupation and that he musn't keep looking at Albany or he would some day say or do something that would make him look foolish because he wasn't Governor. She said, “I know, but Franklin Roosevelt can never run that show. Somebody's got to help him, and Al loves the state.”
