...entire Northeast, swept across Midwestern farmlands with a setback only in Missouri, shattered Democratic presidential hopes on the Pacific Coast and burst through traditional Democratic barriers in the South-where Ike carried Texas, Florida, Virginia, West Virginia. Kentucky. Tennessee and, unbelievably, Louisiana. It tore city after city-from Jersey City to Chicago to Montgomery-from the Democratic grasp. It cut across nearly all racial, religious, ethnic and economic lines. It gave Dwight Eisenhower a victory surging toward the 10 million plurality mark, with about 58% of the U.S. vote, and victories in 41 states...

...armistice of 1949 left Israel a misshapen territory about the size of New Jersey. It was hemmed around by the hate of 900,000 Palestinian refugees and the vengeful memories of five defeated Arab nations.
