I tell you, the people of this country are more concerned with their pocketbooks than they are with any highfalutin' international policy.

"Plans are useless, but planning is indispensable."
"An atheist is a man who watches a Notre Dame - Southern Methodist University game and doesn't care who wins."
"I believe that the only way to solve the world's problems is through cooperation and understanding."
"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
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.
