  • President Harry Truman Liked to Refer to His Wife, Bess, As the Boss
    CSPAN/FIRST LADIES BESS TRUMAN JUNE 9, 2014 11:34 a.m. ET SUSAN SWAIN, HOST: President Harry Truman liked to refer to his wife, Bess, as the boss. Family was her number-one priority. She had little to say to the media, destroyed many of her letters, and spent a good part of her White House years home in Missouri. Bess Truman served as first lady on her own terms. Good evening, and welcome to C-SPAN's continuing series, "First Ladies: Influence and Image.” Tonight, the story of the wife of the 33rd president of the United States, Bess Truman. Here to tell us more about her are two guests. We're very pleased to welcome back to our set Bill Seale, who is a White House historian. His latest book is called "The Imperial Season," coming out on November 12th. A little plug for you there, Bill. WILLIAM SEALE, AUTHOR: Yes, thank you. SWAIN: Nicole Anslover is a history professor and the author of a biography of Harry Truman called "The Coming of the Cold War.” Thanks for being here. Nice to meet you. NICOLE ANSLOVER, PROFESSOR OF HISTORY: Thank you. SWAIN: Well, where we left off last week was the death of Franklin Roosevelt. April 12, 1945, the call comes in to Harry Truman. Where is he? Then he gets the message that he's needed. ANSLOVER: He's having a drink with his cronies, as he was often want to do. He thought a lot of politics was accomplished by relaxing and having a somewhat more cordial atmosphere.

  • Hello Dolley! and Jackie and Mamie and Nancy....A Brief History of Showing 'Skin' in the White House
    Carl Sferrazza Anthony Historian of the National First Ladies' Library Posted March 2, 2009 | 07:04 PM (EST) The Huffington Post Hello Dolley! And Jackie and Mamie and Nancy....A Brief History of Showing 'Skin' In The White House As far as her wearing a sleeveless dress, Michelle Obama revives a bit of a retro in posing for her first official White House photo portrait. The only other First Lady to be photographed in sleeveless clothing for their official picture was the self-defined hostess, housekeeper and wife of a Republican president who reigned in the conservative Fifties -- Mamie Eisenhower. Otherwise, the fuller length image, set in a distinct area of the White House (the Blue Room) is traditional, in line with those of Betty Ford on the Truman Balcony, Pat Nixon in the East Room, Nancy Reagan in the Red Room, and Lady Bird Johnson in front of the fountain on the South Lawn. Others (Jacqueline Kennedy, Rosalynn Carter, Barbara Bush, Hillary Clinton and Laura Bush) chose headshot portraits. To those familiar with some First Lady history, there is something humorous in the current so-called "debate" about how much publicly-exposed skin is "socially acceptable" by First Ladies. Although currently driven by women's, celebrity and clothing media, it's been a debate since practically the start of the presidency. When Dolley Madison (1809-1817) famously wore her low-cut dresses that showed off her shoulders and the top of her bosom, former First Lady Abigail Adams snidely remarked in a private letter that Mrs. Madison looked like "a nursing mother." There was a famous anecdote about Dolley Madison encountering an old friend who, like her, had been a Quaker, but left the faith.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND FEDERAL BENCH DIVERSITY Carl Tobias∗ Abstract President Donald Trump constantly reminds United States citizens about the myriad circuit and district court appointments that his White House is making to the federal judiciary. Last September, Trump proposed the seventh “wave,” which included three people of color among sixteen judicial nominees. This wave permitted the administration to triple the number of ethnic minority picks whom it had selected, which means that the Executive Branch has proffered ten persons of color in 113 appeals court and district court submissions, yet none is a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) individual. Nevertheless, a problematic pattern, which implicates a stunning lack of ethnic- minority, LGBT, and female nominees rather swiftly arose, even though the administration is relatively nascent.
