Eisenhower Speaits Out at Press Conference a, , By John Wolf During a press conference that must certainly be coli- sidered more satisfying than the school’s only other presi- dential news conference former President Dwight Eisenhower frankly answered questions on subjects from Viet Nam to the 1968 presidential campaign to the American space pro< ram. g The conference was held yesterday afternoon in Robert!
