God help us. I knew the state of American education was dismal, but... Harry S. Truman was President from 1945 to 1952. He was Vice-President under Franklin Delano Roosevelt and ascended to the Presidency after FDR's death. Truman was the one who decided to have the atomic bombs dropped on Japan. His other claim to fame was winning re-election in 1948 after newspapers, convinced that Truman was going to lose, already printed up papers announcing the victory of Thomas Dewey before the polls were closed. Harry S. Truman was also the name of an old gaffer who refused to leave his home when Mt. St. Helens was about to blow its top, consquently becoming one with nature, so to speak. It's far more likely that this is the TP Sheriff's namesake than the President is. (Well, the Sheriff's parents probably named him after the President, but Lynch likely gave the character that name because of the volcano victim.) -- "How different in my native willage. Soft music.
