This article is about Joseph Stalin but contains a remarkable paragraph that notes as follows.  ‘[Former President] Truman had numerous offers from large corporations for work, but turned them all down, stating:

“I knew that they were not interested in hiring Harry Truman, the person, but what they wanted to hire was the former President of the United States.  I could never lend myself to any transaction, however respectable, that would commercialize on the prestige and the dignity of the office of the Presidency.”’

When reading this passage, one cannot help but think of the stark contrast set by Bill Clinton and his wife as Secretary of State.  Clinton has coarsened grievously both the American Presidency and Post-Presidency.  Truman was truly from another era of honor and respectability.  Today, half the country wants to return Bill and Hillary to the White House despite their overt faults and derelictions.
