Whatever his talents, Eisenhower was an extraordinarily lucky man; he seemed to arrive at the White House between great disasters, and he did nothing to hurry new ones along. The present idea of the Eisenhower years, however, the marmoreal glow that they impart to Reagan in some people's minds, is a nostalgic distortion, an unconsciously artful forgetfulness about what the Eisenhower years were really like...
