More from Harry Truman
"I have discovered that being a President is like riding a tiger. You have to keep on riding or be swallowed."
"The greatest part of our population has never had a square deal economically, socially, and politically. The American way of life has not been a way of life for all Americans."
"They are trying to make an elder statesmen of me, but they will never succeed."
"I don't like communism because it is a godless ideology."
"I have great faith in the American people. They are a good people, and they will always do the right thing if they are given the facts."
About Harry Truman (1884-1972)
33rd US President who ended WWII (atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki), founded NATO and the Marshall Plan, and integrated the US military. Closely associated with Franklin D. Roosevelt (his predecessor) and Dwight D. Eisenhower (his successor). For an intellectual contrast, see Henry A. Wallace, FDR's progressive Vice President (1941-1945) — Wallace was the VP Truman replaced on the 1944 ticket; Wallace's 1948 Progressive Party campaign attacked Truman from the left for starting the Cold War — the moral road not taken at the dawn of the atomic age.
