New York: Berkley Publishing Corp. 1974. Book Club Edition [?]. Hardcover. 448 pages. Footnotes. Index, some soiling to fore-edge, binding somewhat shaken, DJ foxed & worn: small tears, small pieces missing. Plain Speaking is based on conversations between Miller and the President Truman, as well as others who knew Truman over the years. Robert A. Aurthur said, "No one will ever study or write about the time of Truman again without a bow of gratitude to Merle Miller. Never has a President of the United States, or any head of state for that matter, been so totally revealed, so completely documented...." Merle Dale Miller (May 17, 1919 – June 10, 1986) was an American author who is perhaps best remembered for his best-selling biography of Harry S. Truman, and as a pioneer in the gay rights movement. He was editor of both Harper and Time magazines. He also worked as a book reviewer for The Saturday Review of Literature and as a contributing editor for The Nation. His work appeared frequently in the New York Times Magazine. His works of nonfiction include We Dropped the A-Bomb (1946), a book he wrote in collaboration with Abe Spitzer, a radioman who was on the bomber The Great Artiste, one of the B-29s that dropped the atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Miller came out of the closet in an article in the New York Times Magazine on January 17, 1971, "What It Means to Be a Homosexual." The response of over 2,000 letters to the article, more than ever received by that newspaper, led to a book publication that year. The book was reprinted by Penguin Classics in 2012, with a new foreword by Dan Savage and a new afterword by Charles Kaiser. More

New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1984. First Edition [stated]. First printing [stated]. Hardcover. xi, [1], 96, [2] pages. DJ has some wear and soiling, with large tears and chips. These essays by the former Ambassador to India and present New York Senator address three issues: international peace, international racism and international law. The essay on international peace focuses on the history and meaning of the arms race. The essay on international racism examines the Communist theory of racism, in particular the Soviet use of the term "Zionism" as a synonym for racism, that is applied to those who oppose Soviet totalitarianism. The third essay explores the idea of law in the conduct of nations. From the New York Times Review by Richard Bernstein: The mind of Daniel Patrick Moynihan has ranged so nimbly over so many subjects that the senior Senator of New York may well be the foremost scholar-politician of the land. This slender volume, appearing midway through his second senatorial term, continues Mr. Moynihan’s tradition of elegant and original thinking on the big questions of the day. The Senator puts three subjects under scrutiny, all of them having to do with America’s role in the world and all of them related to the concept of loyalty – to nation, to good sense, to immutable principle – that the Senator sees his fellow citizens and politicians abandoning at our great peril.
