Still, he embodied something of American greatness in a way that went beyond particular successes or failures. The people acquiesced in his decisions, and on the big issues of war and peace, Eisenhower justified their faith. Though his Administration laid plans for the Bay of Pigs operation, leaving an enormous problem for its successor, it is unlikely that Ike, the meticulous technician, would have allowed the sloppy staff work that resulted in J.F.K.'s Cuban fiasco.

As God-fearing Christians, they embellished their wardrobes with sumptuous crucifixes and jeweled pendants rich with Christian imagery. Such emblems indulged the wearer's vanity, but also made manifest his faith...
