    		Adlai Stevenson, during a campaign for President against Eisenhower, was once somewhat rudely introduced in the following way: "Gov. Stevenson, we want to make it clear you are here as a courtesy because Dr. Norman Vincent Peale has instructed us to vote for your opponent." Stevenson stepped to the podium and quipped, "Speaking as a Christian, I find the Apostle Paul appealing and the Apostle Peale appalling." At a later date, Stevenson and Peale met, and Stevenson apologized for the remark.
