More from Harry Truman
"Republicans are always saying that they are for the common man. But when it comes to voting, they are always against him."
"I have often wondered if I did the right thing. But I am sure I did. There was no other choice."
"I've never been one to give up. I'm a fighter."
"They are trying to make an elder statesmen of me, but they will never succeed."
"It's a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get 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.
