"I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people."
"Tact is the ability to step on a man's toes without messing up the shine on his shoes."
"I don't believe in the doctrine of original sin. I think people are born good."
"I've made some mistakes, but I've always tried to do what's right for the country."
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.
