Self-educated Missouri farmer Truman and Acheson, the Ivy-educated upper-cruster who was his secretary of state, weren't just colleagues but friends-especially after they left office. Here's their correspondence in the twilight years, blocked for a while by Truman's daughter because she thought her father might come off as "doltish." In fact, says the editor, it's a humanizing peak at the President.
