Julie Nixon,and David Eisenhower were CHILDHOOD SWEETHEARTS. IIRC,and I usually do,they dated throughout college and were even engaged when they were in college.I DO know,for a certitude,that Julie married David PRIOR to her father's inaugural.I WATCHED whatever was shown of the wedding (which wasn't much,since she did NOT want it to be anything at all like the public show the Johnson girls made)on T.V. and read the wedding announcement in the N.Y. Times! Ergo.........IF you read this in a book,the author is a moron,who had his/her "facts" completely and utterly,damned,dead wrong. :-)
No, Minutaglio had it right. It was Tricia not Julie. It was my memory at fault as I hadn't re-read that book in a while.
I did think very well of Julie & David Eisenhower in that Larry King interview in 2000. Both the Nixon daughters' marriages have lasted a long time, which is commendable.
