...word "justice" ranked with "peace" in the U.N. Charter. In the next five years President Truman sent him to nine more conferences, from London to Moscow to Japan; Dulles threw his influence behind the Marshall Plan and NATO, drafted and negotiated the Japanese Peace Treaty in a brilliant, yearlong, 125,000-mile performance in which he applied the lessons he had learned at Versailles.

Among Democrats, Harry Truman can-and he will-exert considerable influence. No matter what either man does, the prospect for the U.S. is a yearlong, two-ring political circus that may well be the greatest show of its kind in U.S. history...
