Thanks for posting these - I look forward to them every day.
The none-war news in this issue is interesting: Roosevelt (in many ways a covert socialist) signaling that he’d be willing to dump Wallace (an avowed socialist) for someone else as VP, with William O Douglas (one of the worst lefties ever on the Supreme Court) as a prominent candidate. No mention of Truman at all (that I saw), but plenty of indication they could have done a lot worse.
And the picture of the future queen suggests she was quite the babe at the time of WWII.
By the time we get to the DNC in 8 days Douglas will have dropped out of the running. The leading contenders will all be members of the Senate, with Truman a dark horse.
