Passing: Margaret Truman Daniel

How ironic that we should hear of the passing of Margaret Truman on the same week that Caroline Kennedy was in the news.

In a different time and era, Margaret Truman had an impact on popular culture in America not too dissimilar from that of the Kennedy children in the early 1960's (The Truman period was in tehlate 1940's and early 50's).

But Margaret was more than a President's daughter. She achieved renown in her own right as a concert singer, radio and television host, and author of best-selling biographies and mysteries.
