A close friend of Eleanor Roosevelt, Lash won both the Pulitzer Prize for Biography and the National Book Award in Biography for Eleanor and Franklin (1971), the first of two volumes he wrote about the former First Lady. He received his bachelor's degree from City College of New York in 1931 and a master's degree from Columbia University in New York City in 1932. After boarding a train at Pennsylvania Station to attend a Congressional hearing, Lash met First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, becoming lifelong friends. The White House press corps was stunned when she invited him and six other witnesses on the train to lunch, then made an appearance at Lash's hearing to lend moral support. After the hearing, she invited Lash and the others to a dinner at the White House. In 1950, Lash went to work for the New York Post. Lash began his career as a chronicler of the Roosevelt Administration in 1952, when he assisted Franklin D. Roosevelt's son Elliott Roosevelt with the editing of two volumes of the President's letters. Lash won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award as well as the Francis Parkman Prize for Eleanor and Franklin. More

Signed across the chest and shoulder of the white bust is "William D. Leahy, Fleet Admiral U.S. N. Carl Josef von Zelewski Apr. 1953." The photograph may have been taken at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The bust was the work of E. D. Palmer. Erastus Dow Palmer (April 2, 1817 – March 9, 1904) was an American sculptor. Palmer started by carving portraits in cameo, and earned the encouragement of Thomas R. Walker, a local art patron in Utica, who introduced him to prominent artists in New York City. By 1849, Palmer had transitioned from cameo-cutting to large-scale sculpture. He worked in a neoclassical style. Palmer mounted an exhibition of twelve of his sculptures, known as "the Palmer Marbles," at the National Academy of Design in 1856. His major works include The White Captive (1858) in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Peace in Bondage (1863), Angel at the Sepulchre (1865), in Albany, New York, a bronze statue of Chancellor Robert R. Livingston (1874), in Statuary Hall, Capitol, Washington, D.C., and many portrait busts. More
