Tollywood is where I made a name for myself, and it’s all thanks to the love and affection my fans have showered on me. The least I can do in return is to learn to speak the Telugu language correctly.

As you may recall, Truman was extremely unpopular when he finally left Washington in 1953, thanks largely to the Korean War. Today, however, he is thought to have been a solidly good president, a ‘Near Great’ even, in the terminology of those surveys of historians they do every now and then.
