Dwight D. and Mamie Eisenhower
Dwight D. Eisenhower is shown with his bride, Mamie, shortly after their wedding in Denver, Colorado, July 1, 1916. A new book of letters between presidents and wives, based on the papers of 23 presidents held by the Library of Congress captures some of the presidential couples in the first blush of their romance, and follows them into the White House. Eisenhower, as allied commander for Europe in World War II, tried in several letters to his stateside wife, Mamie, to shoot down rumors he was involved with his driver, Kay Summersby, with whom he formed an intense friendship. "I've no emotional involvements and will have none," he told his wife. (AP)
