...This will be a historical day. At 9:00 o'clock this morning, I must make a broadcast to the country announcing the German surrender. Isn't that some birthday present?" So wrote Harry S. Truman to his mother on his 61st birthday just 20 years ago. It was his 26th day as President of the United States.

His lonely landscapes of Brittany, Manila and Manhattan omit the human presence, make nature the actor in richly detailed but desolate dramas. Colored ink paintings and prints. Through April...

So I say why don't we go to the Regency, the new hotel at Park and 61st." Mrs. Ford suggested that they go to the Delmonico instead. But McClain felt an invisible force tugging him toward the Regency...
