I'm into the last 100 pages of the epic that is David McCullough's Truman, which has him entering his final phase as President.
Truman, in his mid-sixties is into his seventh and last year of his Presidency and still full of energy and still with a steely commitment to his job.
He's not weighed down by events (the 'limited war' in Korea and Senator McCarthy's poison tongue), still healthy and fit, and still morally upright.
He's an inspiration and a role model for the rest of us in the same age bracket.
