Acknowledgments
The most pleasing part of my odyssey through the Eisenhower realm is repaying the many people who accompanied me. At the top of the list are Patrick Washburn of the E. W. Scripps School of Journalism and Alonzo Hamby of the Department of History at Ohio University. Four other Ohio University lightsCharles Alexander, Ray Gusteson, Mel Helitzer, and Don Flournoyare owed additional debts of gratitude.
My closest working associate was Dwight Standberg of the Eisenhower Library, who established many of the initial research parameters and made Abilene, Kansas, seem like a second hometown. Kathy Struss at the Eisenhower Library and Allan Goodrich, her counterpart at the Kennedy Library, helped immeasurably by allowing me to roam through their collections of film and videotape. The research was expedited by the generous financial assistance of the Eisenhower World Affairs Institute.
Enormous thanks go to Christi Stanforth, my copyeditor, and to Lewis Bateman, my acquisitions editor, both at the University of North Carolina Press. Working with Lew, Christi, Sandra Eisdorfer, and the others at Chapel Hill was a personal privilege.
Just as much of a privilege were my opportunities to contact and converse with many of the people I was writing about. They ranged from Richard Nixon, with whom I corresponded, to others whose media stories from the 1950s are told in this book for the first time. Several of the figures I interviewed graciously altered their plans and schedules in order to accommodate me, for which I am indeed grateful.
Others who helped with the project and earn heartfelt acknowledgment include Marian Buckley and Janet Soper of Arizona State University; Juan Pozo-Olano of Washington, D.C.; Carl and Judy Trevison and Don TeSelle of Hartford, Connecticut; Mark Mandel of Portland, Oregon; and Jim and Carol Ward of Chatham, New Jersey.
