"We are offering the medical evidence for it."FDR's poor physical health during his fourth and final term in office has been well documented. Indeed, in April 1945, just two months after the Yalta meeting, FDR died of a brain haemorrhage. But Mr Salerian said his study was the first analysis of FDR's mental condition and the impact it had on his judgement.In a peer-reviewed article published tomorrow in The Forensic Examiner, Mr Salerian says an examination of previous documents and reports about FDR's medical condition has allowed him to perform a diagnosis. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, considered one of America's greatest presidents, may have been mentally impaired at his meeting with Stalin at Yalta - a condition that led him to make many costly errors about the post-war settlement.

Once again Spaniards have shown to our associates that we are advanced and determined pro-Europeans."She thanked the security forces who ensured the polling day went off smoothly. Maria Teresa Fernandez de la Vega, the deputy prime minister, said: "We were the first to give a loud and clear yes to Europe, under the intense scrutiny of our European colleagues.

The support that we have obtained is very extensive, and strengthens Spain's role in Europe. I am very satisfied."The verdict, though expected, provided the hoped-for endorsement for future referendums planned throughout Europe in coming months. Spain opted to kick off the process, confident that its traditional pro-European sympathies would make a positive first step.Some 42.3 per cent voted, fewer than in 22 previous Spanish elections, but comfortably above what the government had feared. The turnout matched the European average for euro-elections ­ in last June's European Union poll in Spain, 46 per cent voted.Of votes cast, 76.7 per cent were in favour of the treaty for a constitution, 17.3 per cent were against, and there were 6 per cent blank votes.Regions where turnout was lowest were Catalonia, Navarra and the Basque country, where there was a strong no-campaign But even here the yes-vote was a strong majority.
