Truman, 1945-53]; всегда the Fair Deal; отсюда fair dealer или Fair dealer сторонник "Справедливого курса")Harry Truman, recognizing this expectation of the people, demagogically promised a continuation of the New Deal and promulgated the Fair Deal. But even the Fair Deal never got to first base (G. Green, ‘The Enemy Forgotten’, ch. VIII) — Гарри Трумэн, сознавая, что народ ждет этих реформ, демагогически обещал продолжать "новый курс" и провозгласил свой "Справедливый курс". Но "Справедливый курс" так и не прошел даже первого своего этапа.
