It's clear that I am getting very dense, but I'll be damned (Harry S.
Truman-speak) if I can see what's wrong with the spelling of "Harry S.
Truman." It's the same way he spelled it (see, e.g.,
http://www.sandia.gov/Truman.htm), and by God, if anyone should know how to
spell his own name, it's Harry!
