Deborah Block

   WASHINGTON - Dwight D. Eisenhower was a popular U.S. president known
   for his integrity, leadership skills, and for balancing the federal
   budget during his two terms in office from 1953 to 1961.

   A lot of people look back favorably at the Eisenhower years "as a time
   of peace and prosperity," said Chester Pach, a history professor at
   Ohio University who has written about the former president.
