How refreshing to read about a solid, onward and upward couple like David and Julie Eisenhower (People, Nov. 17, 1986). Julie turned out to be all any parent could hope for: moral, intelligent, beautiful, loyal. If it is true that "by their fruits you shall know them," Richard Nixon has been misjudged.

I see Julie Eisenhower is on her soapbox again. The same old tirade, "My
daddy, Mr. Wonderful." We know about Watergate and how everyone went to jail
except Nixon. Now Julie is telling us her father was really romantic and wrote love
letters to Pat and called her pet names. I bet hundreds of suitors did likewise,
then the pet name became "the little woman."

I was shocked by what Watergate did to Julie and David. To be reduced to
how they're living now is nothing but a national scandal, and to stifle David's potentially
brilliant law, political or whatever career he wished is a crime. Here are two talented
people being forced to underachieve. Regardless of Watergate, they're descendants
of two very historical and powerful families and should be treated with respect,
not reduced to a middle-class existence. I hope their new books give them more economic
and social opportunities, so they won't need to hide and can be free again to meet
the public.

Hooray for Julie Eisenhower (Newsweek, October 14, 1974)! In these times of "cool," when showing emotion is passé and loyalty is considered blindness, it is refreshing to see a young woman with these qualities who is feisty to boot.

Please, please, please don't crucify the American people with any more
cover stories about Julie Nixon Eisenhower. Isn't it bad enough that her father made
a mockery of American justice? Do we have to put up with silly, chatty stories about
his ridiculous daughter also?

For the second time (Shirley Temple was No. 1), I've fallen in love. Best
Newsweek cover in years!

Your reporter may think Julie Eisenhower is an intelligent woman. I think
she's incredibly naïve if she thinks the American people would accept her father as
roving ambassador to anything other than the Watergate trial.
