Dwight Eisenhower: Administration
built 635 days ago
Eisenhower crusaded against the multiple failures of the Truman administration at home and abroad, summed up as "Communism, Korea and Corruption." His campaign made heavy use of the catchy slogan "I Like Ike"; it became an animated TV commercial produced by Roy Disney and the Citizens for Eisenhower-Nixon [10].

As governor of New Hampshire, Sherman Adams became an early and leading supporter of Eisenhower for president. He served as Ike's floor manager during the 1952 Republic Convention and followed his idol to Washington. Six years 9 later, following the revelation of his exchange of official and personal favors with Bernard Goldfine, a New England businessman, Adams resigned his position in the administration and left the capital in disgrace. Adams' book describes events of the Eisenhower presidency and ends with his own account of the Goldfine controversy.

Kennedy administration was the fiasco of the Bay of Pigs.
