More from Harry Truman
"I am not an expert in anything. I just try to do my job the best I can."
"The atom bomb is a paper tiger which the United States reactionaries use to scare people."
"Always be sincere, even if you don't mean it."
"It's a good thing I didn't get into politics for the money, because I'd be a poor man."
"I believe in the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. But sometimes, you have to hit them over the head with it."
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.
