Ah, I see. Well I did remove the last paragraph; I'm putting it below so you can restore it if you want. Currently I think it addresses some interesting issues but needs some refinement; I'll work on the article some and see if I can work the meaning back in. --KQ

So was Eisenhower a good president? Was he a terrible president? An incredible one? It all depends on what you consider great, and what you consider bad. Some people think it?s wonderful that he didn?t fight any wars, others think it?s pathetic. Some people think taking the ?middle way? is great way to compromise and get along with the whole country, others think that it?s just uninspired. So what do you think? Was he a great president? You decide.

It's pretty funny, KQ. I just wonder if this was taken from somewhere, thereby violating copyright. Danny

I don't think that's the case. The person above said it was for a school project, and also there's the Google exact term search, for instance here. --KQ

Yup, you're right. Sorry, I didn't see the remark about it being a school project. Danny

I don't doubt that Eisenhower was a "racist", but I would prefer to see something like the following.

Historian (put correct name here) wrote that Eisenhower opposed desegragation, because (fill in this blank). He enforced the Supreme Court decision because (fill in this blank).

Was it because he believed that it was his responsibility to enforce the law despite his personal preferences, or what?

Please note: I am not debating your POV on Eisenhower. I am discussing how to write the article from the NPOV. Ed Poor


I'd like an answer on that, too. I intended to make several passes through the article adjusting things like that, but I don't know if the original author is still around. --KQ
