More from Dwight Eisenhower
"I don't think any man should be President for more than two terms. It's too much power for one man."
"I believe in the American system of free enterprise, and I believe in the American system of free government."
"The best way to solve a problem is to prevent it."
"The spirit of man is more important than mere physical strength, and the spiritual fiber of a nation than its wealth."
"There are no victories in life, only challenges."
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.
