Eggs March $.09 $.55 $.48 June $.11 $.61 $.51 September $.12 $.83 $.67 December $.12 $.92 $.70 How do those prices compare with today s prices? How could gasoline be placed on a similar chart? Who is to blame for rising prices? In 1946, they blamed Truman, should we blame the government today?

Faulk Successfully Sued the Group, But His Radio Career was Ruined The Case Was Not Settled until 1963 Faulk was awarded $3.5 million in damages The Media Capitalized on People s Fears About Communism Comic Books Such as This Fanned the Fear of a Communist Takeover of the United States Warrior in the White House 1952 Ike Answered the Nation s Call to Duty Eisenhower Was Free From Political Controversy The Nation Did Not Know Eisenhower s Political Party Until He Ran for President Eisenhower Was a National Hero With Proven Leadership His Lack of Political Experience was an Attribute He was a Committed Anti-Communist Ike was the First Candidate to Use Television Advertising Effectively in his Campaign 8
