Whatever the effect of President Truman's egregious action on foreign policy (see above), he was still head of the Democratic Party, still neck-deep in the campaign to keep Democratic control of Congress.

After imaginary interviews with a Wall Street clerk, a taxi driver, a socialite, etc., his final paragraph was the "Reaction of the Columnist, deep down in his heart: 'It's going to be awfully tough without you, baby. Awfully, awfully tough...
