False claims.



Summer reading time. Jean Smith's biography of Eisenhower finished and put on the library shelves. Probably the best Eisenhower biography so far.  Long suffering Mamie Eisenhower gets full credit for her role as wife and confidante. After falling over at a formal reception the Presidents opponents  claimed that she was an alcoholic. The real reason was that she suffered from chronic Meniere's disease.
