( Phoenix, AZ ) At twenty six, Margaret Truman, daughter of President Harry Truman, began a nationwide concert tour in January 1950. Amy Nelson interviewed Margaret Truman on a cold, snowy afternoon at the Hotel Syracuse. A WAGE engineer recorded the interview for broadcast with a new innovation: the wire recorder. Later, Nelson transferred the sound to an electrical transcription disc, or ET, and saved a copy for posterity. She wrote about the experience shortly after the interview.
