AUTHOR:TRUMAN DELIGHTS NATION WITH HUMAN INTEREST STORIES , and the way to attain. human’ interest in one’s writ- “ing, is by giving intimate details. That is why oor budding author-—the President himself in his Little White House svin Key West-—is hailed throughout the country as having “written a best seller. One may “contend that the book is making the head- line§thecause it was written by and about the President, Wut‘ that is not so. Had he written uninterestedly, his vo- “lithe would have been given only passing notice, despite whet igh office he holds. We have much literary history -sto-back up the statement that such writing as Mr. Tru- sumanis lives, and expands as it lives. . * "Pho Citizen will mention only one instance, James ~-Boswell’s writings. Everything he wrote; The Life of Dr. 7 Tohnedn> The Tour of the Hébrides, The London Journal and the vast number of his manuscripts discovered the intimacy ef what he said: . Like President Truman in his Diary, Boswell was caricatured, denounced and even challenged to duels be- cause of the things he wrote about the people he knew. Though the day-of.the duel is long past, so far as this country isoncerned, yet ut least two of the men the Pres- ident wrote about has promptly and hotly denied what he saideSuch denials add to readers’ interest and result is the sal} of more hooks. The same Johnson, about whom Boswell wrote in what is considered the world’s greatest biography, declared that denial or denunciation builds up the public interest in a book, whereas a book that stirs up no interest, favorable or unfavorable, dies aborning. Author Truman, besidés his flair for human interest, is an adept at sly humor, such as the account of when he diped alone and was served his dinner in pompous style. But his book also contains much sound philosophy, particularly when he writes about the presidency, which he says is the hardest job in the world, but which, none- theless, he likes. Whether or not it was true that the Pres- ident’s ‘popularity had been waning, the book partly by and about him has inereased the publie’s esteem in him. He has gotten closer to the public becauge it feels he is human, actuated by thoughts similar to its thoughts, and H H ' i i ' highest office in the world. . i ‘or that garden vou plan each year io Vee eu — SLICE OF H eenew eer eeeeraercer Bgilea to use for reproduction of all news dispatches credited to iti $12.00, single copy Sc/ $ z Human interest grips readers more than anything last few years, pulses with human interest because of the j he stands.on' common ground, though he functions in the “This is the time of year to buy the seed and plants The editor isn't knocking off these lines without some sai ahd egg-laying, but thcy do represent an honest try.
