        I passed President Harry Truman coming out if the Westport Library one winter evening long ago. He had an arm load of books. He looked at me and realized I knew who he was. He smiled and went on his way. A very long time ago...

        Oh, the sick, twisted irony. I have no doubt, that the scheduling of today's meeting in Helsinki was not a coincidence.

        Of course it was a coincidence; do ye think anyone on either team knew of Potsdam?

        I'll guarantee you that Putin does. And I'd bet dollars to donuts that tRUmp's team went along with the date without a thought.

        You of course can't "guarantee" that. You can assert it, without sources. Every day is an anniversary of some event or another. I only point this out to advance the cause of doing good history, good journalism, which you seem unable . . .to do.

        Why then we'll assert it. You know that I tend to shoot my mouth off, with or without sources. In other news, I truly enjoyed the audiobook version of The Last Lion and wish to thank you for your part to bringing that volume to fruition.

        This is a comfort to look at today. To be reminded that once there were statesmen.

        OK. Truman's words below are probably urban legend. That said, I suspect not coincidence that such (regret) is attributed to Truman and not to....current president of the US of A.? FDR?https://twitter.com/NaomiH_nothing/status/958484665379311619 …

        Place Truman's words by the flag in every school?! Modeling/setting example, admitting mistake! Proving his words about the buck's wherabouts were not empty?
