NELSON, DIANE KEATON, LUKE WILSON and CLAIRE DANES. That's almost a voting bloc...
...country, who helped him learn the trade secrets (you can pay $300 for a beaver top hat like Lincoln's, but a hand-me-down from the local theater troupe will do; always have a snappy response to kids' favorite question: "Aren't you dead?"; a little piece of pencil eraser affixed above the right corner of your mouth can serve as Lincoln's prominent mole; if you're not quite as tall as Lincoln, you might say, "Few men could measure...
