limousine time



-------- [excerpt, Schlesinger journals] -------------- May 14, 1962.  I forgot to record a remark of the President's last Friday.  He was commenting on the Eisenhower press conference the day before.  "The thing I liked best," he said, "was the picture of Eisenhower attacking medical care for the old under Social Security as 'socialized medicine' -- and then getting into his government limousine and heading out to Walter Reed." -------------------------- [end excerpt]
