The first election I remember was Dewey Truman in 48. I was, I guess, seven years old Picture Quote #1

At the end of their first years, there are few people who would have predicted that Truman would be elected in 1948 or that Reagan would get a second term. It’s always premature to make some kind of categorical judgment after the first year in office Picture Quote #1

We now have a lack of readiness that is quite scary. We have planes that were - that Harry Truman inaugurated, the B-52. We have - the Navy has been gutted and decimated. The readiness of the Marines is way down Picture Quote #1

I’m very proud of what Harry Truman turned out to be in office and the record he made. Certainly I think he’ll go down in history as one of the greats, because of his conscience, his determination to stick with what he knew was right Picture Quote #1

Harry Truman was courageous enough to command that racial segregation be ended in the military. I was serving in a submarine in the U.S. Navy at the time he issued the order Picture Quote #1

In 1940, then-Senator Harry Truman headed up a Senate Special Committee to Investigate the National Defense Program. In the course of World War II, more than $15 billion in unnecessary and fraudulent defense spending was identified Picture Quote #1

President Obama’s Justice Department won less than half of its total cases before the Supreme Court, which is the lowest presidential win rate since Harry Truman. Average historically for the last 50 years is about 70 percent Picture Quote #1

Harper Lee and Truman Capote became friends as next-door neighbors in the late 1920s, when they were about kindergarten age.

When Lee’s father gave them an old Underwood typewriter, they began writing original stories together Picture Quote #1

If Truman hadn’t published ‘Answered Prayers’ in parts, he’d have had the drive to finish it. The peacocks took it away from him Picture Quote #1

I would go to the all-night grocery store and pretend that I was at Studio 54 because it was the only place open all night. Truman Capote in the frozen foods. Andy Warhol over in vegetables Picture Quote #1

I admired Truman, among many other things, because he integrated the Army. I admired JFK because the very first civil rights legislation was passed at his insistence. JFK showed what you could do, though he was a deeply flawed person, as we all now know Picture Quote #1
