| Description | Cartoon shows General Eisenhower as Ulysees, lashed to the mast, gazing at a rock where two Sirens (Senator James Duff of Pennsylvania and Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York) make enticing gestures. The cartoon refers to Ulysses (the Roman name of the Greek hero, Odysseus) who managed to escape the charms of the Sirens who lured seamen to their destruction by the sweetness of their songs. In October 1951, Eisenhower, who was serving as supreme commander of NATO, was still publicly resisting suggestions that he might become a candidate in the 1952 presidential election. |
