• We've just learned this extraordinary little snippet of information - which is so important that we felt obliged to share it here. (A correction of the famous quote for the historical record...)

In the original draft of [President Eisenhower's] speech, it was "military-industrial-congressional complex." And the "congressional" part was taken out because the president felt that he'd had excellent relations with a Democratic Congress and didn't want to get into name-calling on his way out.

– Susan Eisenhower
Granddaughter of President Dwight D. Eishenhower

*********************************************

Let's see, Eisenhower left office in 1961, so 38 years ago the President of the United States was aware of the threats from not only the military and corporations, but from Congress.
