| | Presidential Medal of Freedom - 15 Americans Awarded Presidential Medal of Freedom |
| | But the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal, awarded to civilians by Congress, continue to hold their position as the ne plus ultra of civilian honors. | | | And so it was yesterday that economist Galbraith, civil rights activist Jackson, former presidential candidate McGovern, retiring Sen. Moynihan and children's advocate Edelman, as well as other prominent figures in American life, gathered in the East Room of the White House to be presented with the nation's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. | | | What surely is one of the most ironic moments in the medal's history took place in 1970, when Nixon presented the medal to eight journalists--including Washington Post White House correspondent Edward T. Folliard. |
