...33rd President of the U.S. seems, at first blush, an unlikely practitioner of this secretive art. "Give-'em-hell" Harry made plain speaking his trademark; he spared few enemies, in or outside politics.

But H.S.T. was not always as impulsive as his public tongue-lashings suggested. Another review by Critic Hume annoyed the President, and he complained in writing to Post Publisher Philip Graham: "Why don't you fire this frustrated old fart and hire...

An honor guard of 300 young blacks, Hispanics, Chinese and whites, wearing their trademark red berets, stood at attention to honor their fallen comrade. The services in Newark last week were for Frank Melvin, 26, a Guardian Angel who was the first member of the much publicized volunteer anticrime group to be killed while on patrol...
...most revolutionary feat was to usher in the computer age. With vision and drive, IBM increased the electronic brain power of American business and then spread that boon around the world. In the 1960s and '70s, roughly two-thirds of all computers sold bore the IBM trademark.
