I think Democrats made a mistake running away from liberalism. Liberalism, uh, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John and Robert Kennedy - that's what the Democratic party ought to reach for.
My favorite monologue in the book is Kate Harrington's story of her relationship with Truman.
For The Truman Show, I worked for a few weeks, do my gig, then I was done.
Almost everything Truman did in foreign affairs I approve of.
