Eisenhower was in DC, but they didn't finish building the roads that bear his name.  The
Eisenhower defense highway system is missing huge chunks of pavement in the nation's
capital.  Ironic, isn't it?  You'd think you'd want a defense system to fully include your
capital, but it doesn't.

There were too many people who said they'd riot if they built the highway.  Personally, I'd
have said, fine, and had the National Guard come on out and provide protection to the
workers on the highway.  Let them burn down their own houses -- Nixon taught them a lesson
in that.  They rioted, and Nixon let them burn down stuff, and it still isn't rebuilt now.
