Truman couldn't resist the opportunity to have a little fun at the expense of one of his least favorite newspapers; he smiled widely as he held the paper aloft for the large crowd to see. That photograph taken of President Truman on the back of the train, Ferdinand Magellan, has become an icon of the power of tenacity and as a symbol of victory for the common man.
