I get sick a lot in the winter, so I spent this past January as I’ve spent many Januaries before it — in bed with a standard-issue flu.

But when months elapsed and Covid-19 put spring on hiatus, it became clear that I, like anyone else fortunate enough to work from home, would be stuck inside. One restless weekend, close to climbing the walls, I reread “The Philosophy of Andy Warhol.”

It never was, though, and Smith stresses the toll it took on Eisenhower’s health, on his marriage and ultimately in the loneliness he could never escape. Perhaps Ike earned his place in the pantheon after all.
