Betty, That is a positive appraisal of Bush, IMO. Every body seemed to think that Truman was a fifth wheel, but he turned out to be a damned good President, with values, and guts. ~;=;o --haqi

Yes, I think there is one. He is a very unpretentious, easy- going fellow. It is, to me, a pleasure to listen to him in an interview, precisely because he is spontaneous (making allowances for some political calculation), warm, and human, in contrast to Gore, who has a hard shell of calculation around him. Truman was one of our most down- to- earth presidents. People have underestimated both because they were too folksy. But there is a toughness, I think, and straightforwardness in dealing with people, that make both good men to have in the middle of things, to listen, question, and make the tough calls..........
