Truman’s Grandson Hit, Killed by Taxi

A grandson of President Harry S. Truman has died from head injuries sustained when he was knocked down by a taxi outside his mother’s Manhattan home. William Wallace Daniel, 41, was the son of Truman’s only child, novelist Margaret Truman, and former New York Times Managing Editor Clifton Daniel, who died in February. He was hit Saturday by a Yellow Cab on Park Avenue and died Monday at New York Hospital, his family said. Daniel, the second of four brothers, was a psychiatric social worker at Columbia University.
