Although President Dwight David Eisenhower encouraged me to call
him Ike during the years I served as Vice President, it was a superficial form
of intimacy. I regretted his failure to share decision-making responsibility
with me at the White House. That privilege he reserved for his special
assistant, Sherman Adams.

When media coverage of a minor scandal in 1958 involving a rug
and a vicuna coat pressured him into letting Adams go, Ike at last revealed
a facet of his humanity to me. “By sheer force of habit,” he remarked, “I
was ready to seek out Sherman’ s advice on whether or not I should fire
him.”

It was not until 1961, after Ike’ s farewell address, that he confided
in me again, this time about a more momentous occasion. “I suppose,”
he began, “my reference to the dangers of the military-industrial complex
in my speech came as something of a surprise to you, eh?”
