    Harry S. Truman seated at a desk is talking about the Berlin Airlift. " . . . I had a little private war all my own." The State Department was worrying about Arab oil. The Russians were waiting to take over. Also, it was an election year – 1948, and Mr. Truman was up for reelection. (Mr. Truman has a big grin by the end of the segment).
