Harry S Truman

Harry S Truman

Even Wikipedia gets it wrong sometimes, explaining the origin of Truman’s middle initial “S” but then placing a dot after it in their headline.  (There shouldn’t be.)  Anyway, the headline photo on this unused contemporary card may be one of the most famous shots in U.S. journalistic history, since as the world knows by now, Dewey did not defeat Truman.  How sweet that moment must have been.  Grade: 1
