Where in the history of democratic political leadership can one find a leader who has enjoyed the uncritical adulation that is showered on Dwight David Eisenhower? Statesman Franklin D. Roosevelt no doubt stirred greater enthusiasm among those who admired him, but he also had enemies by the million who loathed and hated him, who prayed for his downfall, who told dirty stories about his wife and family. The American President is head of state and Eisenhower has fulfilled these functions of his office as successfully as any of the monarchs of Western and Northern Europe.
