"The greatest danger to American democracy is the apathy of the American people."
"I wonder how many people have ever thought of a President as a man who has to put up with a lot of slanders and lies."
"I don't want any more of these goddamned conferences. They never accomplish anything."
"I don't give a damn about popularity. I care about doing what's right."
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.
