  3. This morning I finished reading “Eisenhower In War and Peace, by Jean Edward Smith, published by Random House, a very large book, published by Random House. I am just old enough to remember some odds and ends of Eisenhower’s presidency. I was struck by two things: Ike’s social class, which evolved from his military career, and the terrible proofreading of the text. I am sure I have never read a book with comparable proofreading errors. But all in all, it was educational.
