WHO IS IMPORTANT?
When Harry Truman returned to Independence, Missouri, to vote in the 1948 elections, a group of newspapermen were assigned to stay close to him at all times. They landed at the Kansas City airport and found that the President had already arrived and was on his way home. with a noisy police escort scattering traffic out of the way, they raced after him in a press car, but when they reached the house he was not there. He turned up some time later and a worried reporter asked him what had happened. “Oh,” said Truman, “we were stopped by a police car and had to pull over. Seems there were some very important people going through town.” Lew Shollenberger, quoted by Charles S. Shapiro in TV Guide
