More from Dwight Eisenhower
"The middle of the road is all of the usable surface. The extremes, right and left, are in the gutters."
"I hate to see the day when we get so dependent on the government that we can't do anything for ourselves."
"I believe that the only way to solve the world's problems is through cooperation and understanding."
"I can only say that I have tried to do my best, and that I have tried to do what I believed to be right."
"The only way to win a nuclear war is to prevent it."
About Dwight Eisenhower (1890-1969)
Five-star Allied Supreme Commander in WWII Europe and 34th US President (1953-1961), whose January 1961 farewell address coined 'military-industrial complex.' Closely associated with George C. Marshall (his Army mentor and the Marshall Plan author) and Douglas MacArthur (Pacific Theater rival). For an intellectual contrast, see Joseph McCarthy, Wisconsin Republican senator (1947-1957) — Eisenhower privately despised McCarthy's Communist witch-hunt tactics but publicly tolerated him until McCarthy attacked the US Army in 1954; Ike's quiet engineering of the Army-McCarthy hearings undid McCarthy and ended the worst phase of McCarthyism. The establishment-Republican vs anti-establishment-Republican fault line that still defines the GOP.
