"Few Americans have more Bibles than Harry S Truman (he has 'about 50') and few quote from them with greater facility... The President seldom misses a chance to stress that only as the U.S. has faith in God can it face the future with confidence.... It was on this Bible, opened to the Ten Commandments, that Harry Truman rested his left hand while he took the solemn oath of office, January 20, 1949 (a second Bible was opend to The Sermon on the Mount)".
