Last Sunday marked the 77th anniversary of the D-Day invasion of Normandy. On that day, Operation Overlord began, launching the Allied invasion of Europe that would spell the beginning of the end of the Nazi regime. At least 4,400 Allied troops died in the Normandy landings, and another 10,000 were wounded. As the invasion started, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt took to the radio airwaves to ask Americans to join him in prayer: âAlmighty God: Our sons, pride of our Nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity ⦠let our hearts be stout, to wait out the long travail, to bear sorrows that may come, to impart our courage unto our sons wheresoever they may be.â

Just a month after the Pearl Harbor bombing that brought America, whooping and waving, into the World War II, Major League Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Landis sent President Franklin Delano Roosevelt a hand-written missive asking if America’s Pastime should suspend operations during America’s wartime.
The POTUS responded with what is now known as “The Green Light Letter,” which supposed that baseball’s loss from popular culture would damage home front morale, indeed that displays of sportspersonship and community were more vital in troubled times than they were in less interesting ones. In other words, people need little bits of normalcy to get through culture-wide challenges. Therefore, much to the benefit of Madonna’s film career decades later, the Commander-in-Chief granted Major League Baseball his executive go-ahead.
Notwithstanding the conflicts between them, the ideologists of the Soviet bureaucracy on the one hand and American capitalism on the other shared a common and politically indispensable lie: that the Soviet leaders were dedicated Marxists and that the Soviet Union was, more or less, a socialist society.
