Diners, bellhops, and cabbies shouted out “Hiya, Harry!” whenever they recognized the former president, and, out for his daily constitutional on the streets of New York, Harry even stumbled into the sidewalk shot of the newly launched <I>Today</I> show. Along the way there are brief detours into relevant topics, such as the postwar American auto industry, McCarthyism, the development of the nation’s highway system, and the decline of Main Street America. By the end of the 2,500-mile journey, readers will have a new and heartfelt appreciation for America’s last citizen-president. 6489577 1 5 2009 Harry Truman's Excellent Adventure: The True Story of a Great American Road Trip total:77|5:14|4:34|3:24|2:5|1:0| 77 288 170 34 4 2 false false Mon Aug 03 19:54:48 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 03 20:09:35 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 4 false false Thu Jun 25 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 22 08:17:44 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 27 08:03:33 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jul 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 25 11:30:56 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 25 11:38:46 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false true Sat Jun 27 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 10:59:20 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 07 18:46:18 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Jul 13 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 30 15:38:07 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 10:27:40 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Apr 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 05 15:15:56 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 26 15:43:36 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Jul 15 12:57:17 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 15 13:10:23 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Tue Apr 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 18 17:52:18 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 23 17:39:47 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 29 10:57:11 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 29 11:09:49 -0700 2009 Once
