In 1939, Einstein wrote a letter to President Roosevelt. The first sentence is: "Some recent work by E. Fermi and L. Szilard, which has been communicated to me in manuscript, leads me to expect that the element uranium may be turned into a new and important source of energy in the immediate future." In summary, this means that Einstein had heard that others were working on a way to use uranium to create a bomb.

Who was the first twentieth centruy president not to have a double letter in his first name?
Theodore Roosevelt.
What president summed up his policy by saying Speak softly and carry a big stick?
What Theodore Roosevelt said was not "walk softly but carry a big stick" as is often mis-quoted. He gave his famous quote during a speech in 1903: There is a homely old adage which runs: "Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far." If the American nation will speak softly, and yet build and keep at a pitch of the highest training a thoroughly efficient navy, the Monroe Doctrine will go far. Source:mediatinker

How much more would it cost for President Kennedy to mail a one ounce letter to all of the state governors in the US than it cost Roosevelt to send them at the beginning of his term?
This is sort of a trick question on several different levels.1. Presidents and Congressmen have what is called the 'Free Frank' privilege. They can mail letters for no cost.2. The number of states in the Union at that point. You don't specify which Roosevelt, I'm betting it was Theodore, but included both:When Theodore Roosevelt became President there were only 45 states, Oklahoma became a state while he was in office.When FDR became President there were only 48 states.When Kennedy became president, there were 50 states.3. The postage rates were different. For one ounce of 1st class mail the rates were:Postage in September 1901 was 2 centsPostage in March of 1933 was 3 centsPostage in January 1961 was 4 centsWhile it wouldn't cost a President anything to mail letters to all the state governors, anyone else it would have cost:1901 - 45 states at 2 cents = $.901933 - 48 states at 3 cents = $1.441961 - 50 states at 4 cents = $2.00
