	Bess Truman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Elizabeth Virginia Wallace Truman (February 13, 1885 – October 18, 1982), often known as "Bess Truman", was the wife of Harry S Truman and First Lady of the United States from 1945 to 1953.
		In most years of her husband's presidency, Mrs Truman was not present in Washington except for the social season when her presence was needed.
		After a 1959 mastectomy, Mrs Truman thought she was about to die considering that as Mr Truman stated "she had a tumour the size of a basketball" although it was benign.

		Truman's presidency was eventful, seeing the dropping of atomic bombs in Japan, the end of World War II, the Marshall Plan to rebuild Europe, the beginning of the Cold War, the desegregation of the U.S. armed forces, the formation of the United Nations, the second red scare, and most of the Korean War.
		Truman was a folksy, unassuming president, and popularized phrases such as "The buck stops here" and "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." He exceeded the low expectations many had at the beginning of his administration, and developed a reputation as a strong, capable leader.
		Truman, who had been a supporter of the Zionist movement as early as 1939, was a key figure in the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine.

	Bess W
		Bess Wallace Truman was several cuts above her husband in the social life of Independence, Missouri, at the turn of the century.
		Bess' own mother, Margaret Gates Wallace, who never surrendered the belief her daughter had married beneath herself, was in a strange way responsible for Bess and Harry coming together again nine years after they graduated from high school.
		In this, Margaret Truman's fifth work of nonfiction (she has also written seven mysteries), she writes with an enviable perspective from her own special relationship and unique place in history, but she does it self-effacingly, and this book will be a valuable addition to the other biographical and historical works on her parents.

	American President (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Like her nineteenth-century predecessor, Bess followed a very visible, ebullient, and beloved figure, had a reserved and detached nature, and was committed to pursuing her own course as presidential spouse.
		Over time, Bess grew to resent the long hours her husband worked, as well as having to move the family away from her beloved mother to Washington, D.C. Bess was neither comfortable as a public figure nor did she believe that as the wife of a politician she should be the subject of public interest.
		Bess made a set of friends in Washington, which in the 1930s was still a relatively small southern city; these relationships helped to ease her transition.

	American Experience \| Truman \| Transcript
		WALTER LAFEBER, Historian: Truman was insecure and ignorant, ignorant not in the sense of being unintelligent.
		Truman was told that thirteen pounds of explosives had evaporated a steel tower 60 feet high, left a crater in the New Mexican desert more than 2 miles wide, knocked down men 10,000 yards away, and was visible for more than 200 miles.
		It was quite clear to Truman now that he had, as he would later say, "an ace in the hole and an ace showing." That is to say, the ace in the hole was the atomic bomb; the ace showing was American economic and military power.
