Bi-den-Clin-ton-Ri-chard-son ho!

Lincoln put all of his Republican party rivals into prominent positions after his election as well.  I dragged myself through the entire Modern Library collection of his writings to find that out.  That and his belief that blacks and whites could never live peacefully together.  And the war seemed to knock out his depression, or at least the time to dwell on it.  A few other little tidbits.  Something about "the better angels of our nature" and "four scored"...?
