Nixon is finding out there are no tails on an Eisenhower jacket.
Stevenson, Adlai E. The Papers of Adlai E. Stevenson, Volume VI. Edited by Walter Johnson, Little, Brown and Company, 1976.
Ironically, Patton disapproved of the familiarity that Eisenhower would exhibit when talking to the troops. He was always convinced that Eisenhower wanted to go into politics. Historical analysis shows that the time Eisenhower had given no thought to a political career consciously, but Patton suspected him of desiring one and he thought Eisenhower skilled at politics.
Adlai Ewing Stevenson served as the 23rd vice president of the United States from 1893 to 1897. Previously, he served as a representative from Illinois in the late 1870s and early 1880s. After his subsequent appointment as assistant postmaster general of the United States during Grover Cleveland's first administration (1885–1889), he fired many Republican postal workers and replaced them with Southern Democrats. This earned him the enmity of the Republican-controlled Congress, but made him a favorite as Grover Cleveland's running mate in 1892, and he duly became vice president of the United States.
