Though we may view the Eisenhower years through a hazy lens of 1950s nostalgia, historians consider his presidency one of the least successful. At home there was civil rights unrest, McCarthyism, and a deteriorating economy; internationally, the Cold War was deepening. But despite his tendency toward brinksmanship, Ike would later be revered for keeping the peace. Still, his actions and policies at the onset of his career, covered by Tom Wicker, would haunt Americans of future generations.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor over thirty years, \u003cb\u003eTom Wicker\u003c\/b\u003e covered American politics at \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, where he began writing the \u003ci\u003eTimes's\u003c\/i\u003e In the Nation column.
