Why is it ignored that President Harry S. Truman was a member of the Ku Klux Klan?
There were actually five presidents that were reportedly KKK members. President Warren G. Harding, President Woodrow Wilson, President McKinley, President Calvin Coolidge, and President Harry S. Truman. (It should be noted that historians at the Coolidge Presidential Library vehemently deny that he was ever a member; and the evidence about Harding is mainly based on rumor and innuendo, rather than documentable facts.)
The story in the case of Harry Truman, he was not really a very active member. He originally saw them as a patriotic organization, which was often how the Klan advertised themselves. Truman had a falling out with the Klan when he was confronted with their actual views; he openly spoke out against the group, and had death threats made against him for doing so. Truman's family denies he was ever a member, although the Klan has presented paperwork. There are many that feel the paperwork was falsified. I am thinking that it is not so much that it is ignored, but since it is not a concrete fact, it remains little known.

Should have dropped a third atomic bomb on japan?
The cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were totally destroyed by the atomic bombs. The ultimatum sent to Emperor Hirohito was "surrender unconditionally, or Tokyo is next." The aim was to end the war, not to kill another half million innocent people. The Japanese surrendered, so it would have been mass murder to bomb them again.
The third bomb would have been dropped on either Kokura, Yokohama, or Niigata, the only cities remaining on the approved list (not Tokyo). However by the time the third bomb was available, Japan had already surrendered.
Bomb production schedule if war continued:
- September - 3
- October - 3
- November - 7
- December - 7
Therefore only 23 cities could have been bombed in 1945. Change in production rate in November was due to upgrading MK-3 Mod 0 Fatman with Plutonium core to MK-3 Mod 1 Fatman with composite core (Plutonium/Uranium-235).

How much would a 1 American bill signed by Harry Truman be worth?
If President Truman autographed the bill himself (i.e. the signature is NOT one of the printed ones at the bottom of the note) you would need to take it to an autograph dealer for authentication.
If you are simply referring to the signatures of the Treasury Secretary and U.S. Treasurer printed on either side of the portrait, neither of those can ever contain the President's name.
Either way, someone would have to examine your bill in person.

Who was Truman Capote's closest friend?
Author Harper Lee a friend throughout most of his life. Lee included the young Truman character in the movie "To Kill A Mockingbird" as the character of Dill. Lee acted as Truman's secretary, confidant and sometimes the object of scorn during his writing of In Cold Blood, his novel concerning the death of the Clutter Family of Kansas. She went to Kansas with him and helped him do research for the novel.
What did Harry Truman think the after effects of dropping the atomic bomb would be?
Neither he nor the builders knew what the "physical" after effects of the explosion might include.
However, Truman may have had several motivations for its use as a weapon. The first was obviously to coerce the surrender of Japan. But he also may have hoped to dissuade the Soviet Union from trying to exploit the war to gain territorial concessions. A successful atomic weapon might also extend US foreign power without the need for massive conventional military forces. And to some extent, it did.
