...this cause, says Stampp, the North served as unwitting accomplice. Lincoln's assassination propelled Andrew Johnson into the White House, a kind-hearted and derivative man anxious to implement Lincoln's injunction to let the South up easy.

The researchers found, as they expected, that most of the restless-leg patients were anxious or depressed, and most of them had more severe episodes at times of stress.
