Hands in the New Deal. The largest, most decidedly masculine hands (above), in the New Deal are those of Postmaster General James A. Farley. His long straight fingers, strongly modelled hands and well manicured nails would be capable of making even a slap on the back enjoyable. Most of Farley's gestures are made with a clenched fist. He pounds the desk smartly, or strikes one palm with the other hand. Even when toing with a paperknife, he grips it around the blade with a fist in order to slap his knee.
