The Crybabies

One thing about Missouri's Harry S. Truman: once he made up his mind, he never changed it--and last week he was still sticking to his guns. Appearing in Denver at the American Legion's 43rd annual convention, Truman invited the delegates to "ask any smart-aleck questions, I'll give you some smart-aleck answers." Among the questions: Did Truman have any regrets about dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? The reply: "I do not . . . These tearjerkers, these fellows who are always saying what oughta been done and they weren't there and they don't know a damn thing about it ... They keep crying their eyes out about those people who were killed by those bombs. I haven't heard any of them crying about those boys who were in those upside-down battleships in Pearl Harbor."
