Who knew?

Seems, according to Wikipedia and others, that FDR may not have had polio after all.
There's considerable post-mortem forensic analysis that indicates he had Guillain-Barré syndrome instead.
Not that it really mattered, but the phobia about polio at the time meant that his life was so distorted, as a public figure, that having GBS might have been better, psychologically if not politically.
