If that guy had walked down a street in Texas dressed like that, then or now, they'd have beaten him to death.

We all know this image.

I read an article about this iconic picture in a Danish newspaper. It told the story of a Sweedish worker in the pic beeing recognized by family in 2007.
I can't find the article again, but here's a link to a translation of the same story from a Sweedish paper: http://translate.google.dk/translat...new-york-satt-bondpojkarna-fran-okome&act=url

Jan. 9, 1955: Dwight D. Eisenhower, the 34th president, spoke to reporters and cameramen on his Gettysburg, Pa., farm. It was unclear if the president had confiscated this camera or wanted a photo of the scrum for himself. Apparently, he had a temper, evidenced in a 1969 article: “Once he topped a tee shot at Augusta and flared up in such anger that Richard Flohr, his Secret Service guard, grew alarmed. Mr. Flohr ran to the general and, in the manner of a top sergeant talking to a buck private, shouted: ‘Now you just cut that out right now, Mr. President. And I mean cut it out, or I’m going to put you in that cart and take you right back to the cottage and lock you in.’ ” His Gettysburg home seemed to have a mellowing effect
