I was born in '51, so I don't remember Ike's tenure as President. I do remember my dad racing his car along a two-lane road that paralleled a portion of the Southern Pacific RR line in the south Bay Area (SF), telling us that Pres. Eisenhower was in the train ahead of us. As I read more about his presidency, and about the time of history he governed during, I am filled with admiration for him. He is probably the most underrated President we've had.
And, yes, I'll agree that the '50s were a golden era. Innocent. Clean. Today, we are still suffering from the nihilism of the '60s.

Of course it was pretty neat to learn how to call the others on the party line.
What's the matter with you two?
Don't you know that Ike SMOKED?
Any of his accomplishments are obviously nullified by the association.
Get with the pogrom, will ya?
