No President since Franklin Delano Roosevelt has inherited an economy as beset by calamity as the one [New President] will command after Jan. 20. And no President since Roosevelt has had so much expected from him in righting all that has gone wrong.

From a story entitled “The New Administration is the Key”, Business Week, December of 1980.

I’m digging through business news stories from the early 1980s for the next while, so.. expect more of this sort of thing.
