At a meeting of the American Historical Society in 1958 or ’59, my Princeton mentor, Robert R. Palmer, introduced me to Stevenson. I was thrilled; he was the only presidential candidate I had ever met in person. I was too young at the time, under 21, to have had a chance to vote for him in 1952 or ’56.
