EISENHOWER, Dwight [EISENHOWER, Mamie]. INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF DWIGHT D.

JANUARY 20, 1953. Washington: Government Printing Office, 1953. First 
Edition. Printed wraps, 5 pages. SIGNED by the new First Lady on the top 
of the front cover. On the eve of the Cold War Eisenhower makes some 
prescient statements: "Americans, indeed all free men, remember that in 
the final choice a soldier's pack is not so heavy a burden as a 
prisoner's chains.... Honoring the identity and the special heritage of 
each nation in the world, we shall never use our strength to try to 
impress upon another people our own cherished political and economic 
institutions." Fine. (#017520)        $250.00
