Liberals fondly remember that as Harry Truman's U.S. Ambassador to India and Nepal (1951-53), he fought hard for a U.S. understanding of Nehru's neutrality?which was highly unpopular in the State Department and Congress.

Poets these days tend to be an almost muted species haunted by the dread that they may be understood by nonpractitioners of their private art.
