| 0:00 | Close-up view of Harry S. Truman, who is telling a story about the first political speech he heard in Grandview, Missouri. A Congressman told of a local fellow who dined in New York City, where he was served consommé and celery. When they brought him a lobster, he said "I've eaten your dishwater and your bouquet, but I'll be damned if I eat that bug." Mr. Truman laughs and says "I don’t blame him, I wouldn’t either." | |
| This is a good story, told well by a jovial Mr. Truman. | ||
