Quote of the Day (old school edition)

Today's quote comes from President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who made the following statement during the Sputnik era:

"God help this nation when it has a President who doesn't know as much about the military as I do."

Hmmm....

(By the way, I found this quote in an article about Eisenhower, scientists, and Sputnik in the June 2007 issue of Physics Today.)
