Truman believed in loyalty, even when it cost him. That’s why he went to the funeral, even though he suffered politically for it. He was also loyal to his fellow citizens and the taxpayers, which is why he declined any of the opportunities for corruption that Pendergast may have slyly passed his way. He didn’t hedge his loyalty either—Truman could have just sent flowers. He was out front with it, not lagging, not hoping for a safe opportunity. And it’s why he stuck to Acheson as he stuck to Hiss, even if Hiss may well have been profoundly disloyal himself.
