Truman was very plain spoken. There's a story about Harry and Bess attending a posh party, where he mentions "manure." One of the uppity women fussed at Bess about Harry using such a vulgar word. Bess just told her that she had no idea how long it had taken to get him to use the word "manure."

Their daughter, Margaret, married a cousin of mine, one of the last good reporters from the old days of the New York Times.
