FILE - In this Aug. 14, 1945, file photo, President Harry S. Truman reads to newsmen his announcement of the Japanese surrender officially signaling the war's end during a White House, Washington. At the right of the President are Secretary of State James F. Byrnes and Admiral William D. Leahy, Presidential Chief of Staff. A president‚Äôs first 100 days can be a tire-squealing roar from the starting line, a triumph of style over substance, a taste of what‚Äôs to come or an ambitious plan of action that gets rudely interrupted by world events.
