Eisenhower’s Great Farewell Address of 1960 Still Possesses the Same Power It Did Sixty Years Ago
… More than 60 years later, Eisenhower’s Farewell Address still remains one of the most intellectually rich and substantively important speeches in America’s history.Most do not form sentences like this anymore, in any field, especially not politics.
