There is the case of the father who is sure his pride and joy is headed for achievement as prosecuting attorney. The other evening he was trying to persuade his young problem to eat his stewed rhubarb, and without much success. “Come on, now, Tony,” he coaxed. “Remember, there are thousands and thousands of children in India who would be so happy to have the chance to have some nice rhubarb like this that they’d do anything to get it.”
The small boy looked up with a level gaze in his blue eyes. “Name two,” he challenged.

Not a man on the bus rose to give the bundle-laden woman a seat. One middle-aged male, however, was more thoughtful than the others. He tugged at her skirt and whispered furtively. “Be on yur toes at Pine Blvd., lady. That’s where I get off.”

The Tremendous Importance of the Eisenhower Administration
Southwestern Jewish Press, June 15, 1956, Page 8
Harry Golden – from the Carolina Israelite.
Many years from now historians may record the Eisenhower Administration as one of the most important in the entire history of our nation. And its importance will have very little to do with “accomplishment as such. But in its broader aspects, I believe that “liberals” for a generation to come will hail the Eisenhower presidency as one of the great milestones in the history of human and economic advancement, because the Republicans ratified the Roosevelt New Deal and the Truman Fair-Deal (1933-1952); thus stamping its approval on the most momentous economic reform in the history of government,
“Just think back on what all of this means. For twenty years we had fellows threatening to “move out” of the United States because of Roosevelt and Truman. “They are leading us down the road of Socialism.” The “doubts” would have been with us always. But finally the opposition came to power and many of them rubbed their hands. “This is it,” they said. “Not to get all of those crack-pot ideas of Roosevelt and Truman. But what happened? We all know the story by now. We all know that Eisenhower, Wilson, Humphrey and Dulles did not touch a single hair on the head of the New Deal, and in fact added to the certification by pleading for more welfare and recommending bigger Social Security. In our system of government of checks and balances, it was almost necessary that this should have happened and right at this time, so that the politics of Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Truman may stand forever a part of the American way of life.
Who can doubt for a single moment that this is part of America’s true greatness? It has happened through all of our history. Mr. Jefferson was a thorn in the side of the Federalists while he was out of power. But once he became President he found it necessary to borrow from his arch-enemy Hamilton, and so he, too, in his turn, ratified much of the conservative (Federalist) policy. He spent many a sleepless night worrying about the Louisiana Purchase. Here was a territory bigger than that which we possessed as a nation but Jefferson was not stubborn where the destiny of America was concerned and in making the purchase he exercised the very executive power of the “central government” which he has argued against so valiantly and for so long. Then the Jeffersonian “reforms” were “ratified” in turn by succeeding administrations and finally along came Andrew Jackson who knew all about “executive power” and who wove the entire fabric of “conservatism” and “reform” into the American blood stream. It was probably the stroke of Destiny that an Eisenhower and a Republican administration came along when they did, to put the stamp of ratification on the noble ideas in human relations which had been advanced by Woodrow Wilson and Al Smith and carried out by Roosevelt and Truman. A stroke of Destiny too that at this particular moment we should have also produced a rightful heir to this tradition – Governor Adlai E. Stevenson.
