After Lincoln, F.D.R. The U.S. Civil War, in contrast, seemed remote, almost mythical, virtually genteel. But Clifford Dowdey's Experiment in Rebellion, 'Roy Meredith's Mr. Lincoln's Camera Man, Burton J. Hendrick's Lincoln's War Cabinet and a corporal's guard of books dealing with Lincoln himself testified to the apparently fathomless curiosity of the U.S. reader in the events...

Hendrick), the words for a song honoring Movie Queen Bebe Daniels (Bebe, Bebe, Bebe, Be Mine), whose father lived in Grand Rapids. Now he turned to sterner stuff. Alexander Hamilton had long been his hero; he wrote three books about him. (Lodge had also written a biography of Hamilton.) The books are largely forgotten, and Senator Vandenberg is glad they are. But the inscription in one is a characteristic example of how faithfully Vandenberg represented, as he still...
