[bksvol-discuss] Re: guidelines for submission fields - first draft

I heard that Truman's middle name was S (not S.) on a show like Jeopardy 
(probably) many years ago, and I was so surprised that someone would give a 
child a single letter as a middle name instead of a full name, that it went 
accidentally into my brain's long-term storage, where it resides next to other 
vital important information like 'Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy 
and Sneezy'.  :-)

I don't know how she knew, unless from a history
course.

There another name like that but I can't think of what
it is.
