More from Harry Truman
"I don't want any more of these goddamned conferences. They never accomplish anything."
"I would rather have a good man as President than a great man."
"When you get to be President, there are all sorts of things you are going to find out, and you are going to find out that a lot of them are not so."
"Richard Nixon is a no good, lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he'd lie just to keep his hand in."
"There are 14 or 15 million Americans who have some colored blood in them. They have been discriminated against and I am going to see that that is stopped."
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.
