What national memorials need

Thank you for the poignant and sober article chronicling the latest memorial efforts in D.C. (“Memorializing Eisenhower, too literally,” Arts, Oct. 14). Indeed, why Ike? I think Robert Campbell hit the nail on the head and in doing so may have suggested a new program for the memorial site: “Presidents Park” — let’s put ’em all there! It could take the pressure off the Eisenhower design and also spare the remainder of D.C. from the current memorialization fever.
