More from Harry Truman
"I don't think a woman should be in politics. They are too emotional. They should be home taking care of their children."
"I don't believe in letting the grass grow under my feet."
"The President is the representative of all the people, not just the people who voted for him."
"I'm not a man given to much introspection. I just do what I think is right."
"I'm not going to be a popular 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.
