U.S. Presidents - The View From Here

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

American Experience offers a welcome dose of historical perspective with profiles of seven modern presidents.
The series begins with George H.W. Bush. Then follows with FDR (early career | presidential politics | legacy) and Truman (early career | presidential politics | legacy)

Fascinating facts, as well. Did you know “The buck stops here” was not coined by Truman? The sign on his desk was a gift from a friend. Truman referred to it so often enough that it became his unofficial motto. Great for history buffs and political junkies, or anyone voting this year.
