...vivid personality to life. Mystic, tragic, almost pathetic, their Lincoln is haunted by a trauma of youth, heckled by a shrewish wife, driven into the White House almost against his will, yet ostensibly he is just a backwoods politician with canny horse-sense and a flair for fence-sitting.

Fortunately for those who would rather have others stand in front, the Allies need airplanes more than men, so we need send no soldiers, certainly none who do not want to go. It would be decent to ourselves to send munitions free, most boorish to refuse credit. James Angell McLaughlin (Professor, Harvard Law School...
