At the same time, loyalty, which is often as blind as love and justice, can also be dangerous. Harry Truman stood by his fellow Missourian, Harry Vaughan, a shady military aide who consorted with influence peddlers throughout Truman's Administration. Ike had his Sherman Adams, Carter his Lance. "I do not intend to turn my back on Alger Hiss," Dean Acheson told reporters in January 1950, citing as his precedent Matthew...

On hand to receive an honorary degree at Manhattan's New School for Social Research, Benton made a beeline for the old boardroom to inspect his wall-to-wall mural, Contemporary America. The crusty Missourian allowed that the 1930 painting reflected a nation entranced but not yet enslaved by technology. "Look at that train!" he said proudly, pointing out a black smoke-belching locomotive. "The machines of that day really had something for an artist. They weren't afraid to exhibit their power.
