More from Harry Truman
"When you have to deal with a man who is a son-of-a-bitch, you have to be a son-of-a-bitch yourself."
"It's a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it."
"I never had any trouble with a candidate who was really worth electing."
"My father was a farmer. My mother was a farmer's wife. And I'm a farmer's son. And I'm proud of it."
"The only thing that I have found that is more difficult than being President is being a candidate for President."
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.
