Did you ever like Clark Gable? I found this little item from 50+ years ago.

Clark Gable, Movie Star: [1952 Republican National Convention] Ladies and gentlemen, it is my privilege to introduce to you the man who has written the songs that all America loves to sing. Tonight he will teach you his newest, the campaign song for the next president of the United States -- Mr. Irving Berlin.

Irving Berlin, Songwriter: [singing] I like Ike / I'll shout it over a mike / Tried and true / Courageous, strong and human. / Why even Harry Truman / Says, ''I like Ike.''

He was a bit before my time. The only think I can recall seeing him in was Gone With The Wind, and that was (I think) when I was in junior high.
