A United Press photoprint, catalogued as WAP-101406, shows Dwight D. Eisenhower during his second term as president, with a caption-card date of October 14, 1957. That autumn was turbulent: weeks earlier the Soviet Union had launched Sputnik, and federal troops had been sent to enforce school desegregation in Little Rock, Arkansas. Wire-service photos like this one moved quickly to newspapers nationwide, making them a useful window onto the administration in those months. The date comes from unverified old caption data, so it is worth confirming before relying on it.
