 Eisenhower Range - Wikipedia
The Eisenhower Range (74º15´S 162º15´E) is a majestic mountain range, about 72 km (45 mi) long and rising to 3,070 m (10,072 ft), which rises between Reeves Névé on the west, Reeves Glacier on the south, and Priestley Glacier on the north and east, in Victoria Land, Antarctica.
The range is flat topped and descends gradually to Reeves Névé, but is steep cliffed and marked by sharp spurs along the Priestley Glacier.
The range was probably observed by most early expeditions due to its prominence as viewed from the Ross Sea.

 Archived: Chapter 4 - District "Portfolios" of Eisenhower-Assisted Professional Development Activities
Exhibit 4.8a shows that, according to our national sample of district Eisenhower coordinators, only a minority of teachers are in districts that offer each of the reform types of professional development, and districts vary substantially in which types of reform professional development they support with Eisenhower funds.
Exhibit 4.11a shows that Eisenhower coordinators report that nearly half (44 percent) of all teachers are in school districts where "typical" study groups last less than one month, and one quarter (25 percent) of teachers are in school districts where typical collaboratives or networks last less than one month.
Although Eisenhower funds may be used to provide support for all types of professional development, districts are much more likely to report using Eisenhower resources to fund traditional types of professional development—specifically in- and out-of-district workshops and institutes—than any other type of activity.

 Eisenhower Memorial Commission - Appreciation by Rocco Siciliano
As Chairman of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Commission, I have reflected at length about the meaning and the long-term significance of what we are doing to memorialize “Ike.” In the course of this reflection I have arrived at a conviction: the theme of public service should in some way be central to this memorial.
The range of these achievements is presented in the Eisenhower Legacy Report, which explores the many ways in which Ike chose to serve the nation.
Throughout his presidency, Eisenhower stated this point of view and tried – unsuccessfully – to persuade the members of Congress to build a memorial to express America’s democratic values, the values for which men died under his leadership as general and president.

In addition, districts generally offer a range of Eisenhower-assisted activities serving a relatively large number of teachers, while SAHE grantees tend to offer a few activities focused on a small number of teachers.
Eisenhower funds may be used to support all costs associated with activities, provided that these activities are allowed in the legislation (See Section 2210).

 RangeVoting.org - Center for Range Voting - front page
Range voting permits voters to express their opinions about any number of candidates (not just one).
But range voting is even better, since it experimentally yields much greater support for 3rd parties than "approval voting." Having more parties should also decrease the importance of gerrymandering, and increase interest and turnout.
It is a theorem that range voting (under certain assumptions about strategic voter behavior) maximizes the number of pleasantly surprised voters.

General Eisenhower at length declared that, inasmuch as the U.S. air force in the United Kingdom, which was larger than that of the British, had been given to the Supreme Commander, he could not face the U.S. Chiefs of Staff if the British withheld their bomber force.
