...NEWSPAPER contains an editorial cartoon that shows him evolving into Abraham Lincoln. It is rather heady stuff. Over a cup of coffee, Ed Muskie laughs. The comparison is familiar now. and, as Muskie knows, mildly ridiculous. With a shy grin, he comments: "You know, after my election-eve speech, someone told me that what I had said was a combination of Lincoln, Roosevelt and Winston Churchill." Again the hearty but not totally self-deprecating laugh. "After all," he says, "it was a partisan political speech. How could it be considered a great state paper...

And in fact he proves that the role of Jefferson is an actor's dream. Though he played it 429 times onstage, Jones has, if anything, grown fresher. He does not act the part so much as consume it, then let it shine out of his eyes and resound in his mouth: "If I lets it go too long, then everybody say, now ain't dat one shiftless nigger . . . an' if I chop...
