Yeah, I had to write that one down.

One thing I liked about the library was that it provided some balance. There were many opinions available that the use of the a-bomb was unnecessary. There was plenty of coverage about Truman's connections to Pendergrast. There were copies of editorials and essays in opposition to many of the acts he took during his presidency.

One parallel I like to this election is the moderate president taking on a slick governor after having dealt with a do-nothing congress. Dewey just looked like the smarmy banker that we see in the movies or on TV - think Mr. Drysdale in Beverly Hillbillies.

Regards,
