Clarence B. Randall[edit]
... that Clarence B. Randall received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President John F. Kennedy in 1963?Source: [1]

Interesting bio on good sources, no copyvio obvious. The hook is something that could be said about any of the recipients, - please give us one item which is special for him, such as his service to Eisenhower also, or what he did for freedom. When we have "Presidential medal", we don't need the link to US President, something many readers don't want to see right now anyway. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:11, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
- ALT1:
... that businessman Clarence B. Randall advised two U.S. Presidents? - ALT2: ... that during the 1952 steel strike, Clarence B. Randall criticized President Harry S. Truman for what he considered "shocking distortions of fact"?
I like ALT2, thank you! - link removed as explained above. Whoever doesn't know Truman, will find it in his article. You want readers to go to your article, no? Not see the latest hairdo. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:24, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
