Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be…
The Answer:
Good ole’ Ike signed the bill that gave us NASA. He also signed into law the first Civil Rights legislation since the reconstruction. Ike's eight years in the delightful Fifties were very productive on many levels. And the people in the country pretty much got along.
