"Every Tuesday and Friday, 50 to 200 Washington correspondents herded
into the oval Presidential office in the executive wing of the White
House to match wits with President Roosevelt at one of his regular
press conferences."

From LIFE Magazine, February 13, 1939


Unrehearsed and unscripted. Twice a week.

Yup, and they did not try to back stab President Roosevelt. Did not even
show him in a wheel chair most of the time. And how many press conferences
did Clinton have a week? Bush-1? etc?
