Dear Bob Woodward: You're lucky you never ran into Harry Truman!

Damn, who knew a hard-hitting journalist could be so delicate? Here's what Truman said to a music critic who gave his daughter's piano recital a bad review:

"Some day I hope to met you. When that happens you'll need a new nose, a lot of beefsteak for black eyes, and perhaps a supporter for down below."

Now THAT'S a threat!!

1. I love Truman!!!!

Despite his office, he defended his daughter in very base terms!

2. I think that baseness gained him points.

Different times, different mores.
