increasing most rapidly. People who cannot support their own offspring are encouraged by Church and State to produce large families. Many of the children thus begotten are diseased or feeble minded. Many become criminals. . . . Funds that should be used to raise the standard of our civilization are diverted to the maintenance ofthose who should never have been born.
    Despite these radical views, Sanger is, to this day, a progressive hero.
    In 2009, Hillary Clinton proudly accepted the Margaret Sanger Award from Planned Parenthood. “Now, I have to tell you that it was a great privilege when I was told that I would receive this award,” Clinton said. “I admire Margaret Sanger enormously,her courage, her tenacity, her vision.”
    For a singular moment, Clinton told the truth. She admires—as she said in her own words—this racist, bigoted, self-appointed deity who saw fit to decide who should get the gift of life.

First Wave:
Wilson, the Philosopher President
    The difference between democracy and socialism is not an essential difference, but only a practical difference.
    â€”WOODROW WILSON
    The North Atlantic
    April 19, 1912
    For four excruciating days, a lone ship plowed the waves through fog, darkness, and rough, freezing seas. It sped toward a cursed patch of icy sea four hundred miles south of Newfoundland that had recently echoed with the desperate screams of twenty-two hundred souls.
    The CS Mackay-Bennett , a two-thousand-ton cable-repair ship berthed in Halifax, Nova Scotia, had been overhauling a communications cable linking Canada and France when it received the White Star Line’s desperate plea for aid. It embarked immediately after its macabre cargo—embalming supplies for hundreds of floating corpses and a hundred empty coffins—was aboard. This time, therewas no cable line in need of urgent repair. This was a mission of recovery and retrieval. This was a search for death.
    The April 15 sinking of the British luxury liner RMS had claimed more than fifteen hundred passengers and crew, chiefly because the Titanic , this grand, state-of-the-art vessel, sumptuously appointed with all manner of luxuries and modern conveniences—from a squash court to a lending library to a Turkish bath—had simply not carried enough lifeboats for everyone on board.
    The dead who wore life vests bobbed on the ocean like human buoys. The Mackay-Bennett recovered 306 corpses, far more than the number of caskets it carried. The bodies included that of a nineteen-month-old English boy named Sidney Leslie Goodwin; Isidor Straus, the seventy-seven-year-old owner of Macy’s Department Store (his wife’s body was never found); and a well-dressed, light-haired, fifty-year-old man whose shirt collar and gold belt buckle bore the initials J.J.A.
    He was, the crew later learned, John Jacob Astor IV, the richest man aboard the Titanic and, in death, the richest man now aboard the Mackay-Bennett .
    As the elegant Titanic capsized, Colonel Astor, a Spanish-American War veteran, had ensured that his pregnant eighteen-year-old second wife, Madeleine, her nurse, and their maid had safely boarded a lifeboat. “Might I be allowed to go with her?” the multimillionaire had asked a ship’s officer. “She is in a delicate condition.”
    â€œNo, sir,” the officer had replied. “No man is allowed on this boat or any of the boats until the ladies are off.”
    â€œWell, tell me,” Astor had asked, “what is the number of this boat so I may find her afterwards?”
    â€œNumber four.”
    Astor had kissed his wife on the cheek and watched her boatbeing lowered to the choppy sea. He had known he would never see her again, nor would he ever get to lay eyes on his unborn child. i
    He’d asked for the lifeboat’s number simply to calm her fears.
