Give 'em Hell Harry
There's a nostalgic craze going on in
the country, as if you hadn't noticed.
And no one is exempt, not even our
33rd president, the late Harry Truman.
In this time of deceitful politicians and
Watergate dealings, the people of America
are in dire need of a figure in whom they
can place their trust-someone who is
honest, straightforward and full of
integrity. Unfortunately, no such indivi
dual exists today, so we have given rebirth,
through T-shirts, records, books and plays,
to one of our most colorful presidents:
Harry Truman.
Give 'em Hell Harry, playing at the
Stuart Theatre Sept. 24-26 is a film made
from the one-man play starring James
Whitmore, which has been touring the
country this past year preparing for its
Broadway opening in the fall.
Whitmore. who many will remember for
his one-man performance in Will Rogers
U.S.A., has re-created Truman with vitality
and freshness, although his speech is some
what faster and less deliberate than the
late president's.
As with all biographical plays Give
'em Hell Harry has represented a character
based more on fiction than on fact. We
have a tendency in our society to portray
past figures the way we would like to re
member them and not as they actually
were. This is the main problem with the
film-it doesn't show the real Truman.
For that reason, and because of
Whitmore's great performance, Give 'em
Hell Harry is a film not to be missed.
Tickets are on sale now for this limited
engagement at the Stuart box office,
13th and P Streets, or by mail.

Acronym with a string. Noting that the
acronym WASP stands for White Anglo
Saxon Protestant, William Royster John
son of Palm Beach, Fla., writes that it is
surprising that no one seems to have
observed that the "white" is superfluous
since to be an Anglo-Saxon is to be white.
He suggests that the W should be
dropped, leaving the acronym ASP. That,
he says, "would be more apt anyway in the
derogatory since in which WASP is general
ly used."
Legalisms. Recently this rectangle com
mented on the redundancy of lawyer's
terminology and that prompted R.T.
Boehm of Columbus, Ohio, to send in this
interesting explanatory information:
"Like English itself, legal terms reflect
the French, imported by the Norman
ruling class; the Latin, used by the priest
ly learned class (they were the lawyers of
the day), and the Celtic, the. language of
Nightfall
In recent years, prominent dieticians
have supported the natural food concept.
They contend there are numerous advan
tages over the synthetic and preservative
nature of our society.
. Although health experts offer a valid
case in favor of natural foods, vegetarians,
et al, have had limited dining experiences
outside the home. Serving strictly natural
foods, the new Palm's Cafe, 235 N. 1 1th, is
a welcome addition for the diet conscious
and diet curious.
I approached the Palm's Cafe with great
the masses. - '
"A document would be prepared in two
or three ways so as to be understood by
two or more kinds of people. We still say
last will and testament,' reflecting the
Celtic and the Latin, and there are many
more examples.
"Once the pattern was set, the system
of paid scriveners kept it going. The mass
es couldn't write, so notaries and others
prepared the document for them. Their
pay was based on word count. 'Nuff said?"
We shQuld like to make, publish and
declare a statement that Mr. Boehm grant
ed and conveyed to us the right to publish
the above, foregoing material.
Word oddities. Maybe after Mr. Boehm's
name on that data we should have sued the
scripsit. That is a Latin term meaning that
he (or she) wrote (it), which is placed after
the author's name cn a manuscript,

meal. My palate was surprisingly pleased.
The menu includes a variety of home
made soups, sandwiches, salads, entrees,
snacks and desserts, all from Mother
Nature's bosom. An enticing, sandwich
board offers avocado, peanut butter with
honey, cucumbers, cheese and tuna.
Atmosphere and decor reflect the
naturalistic theme. Cheesecloth napkins
