Looking for Lincoln,
By Robert L. Burkhart (Henderson, NV) -
I watched this PBS presentation on TV when, during the Lincoln centennial, lots of Lincoln programs were being aired. If you’re looking for Lincoln I suggest you look elsewhere (Abraham and Mary Lincoln; a House Divided). What you find here barely scratches the surface. Topics are raised and then quickly dropped. One subject that was not dropped however was the lengthy interview with George W. Bush who tries to convince the viewer that he, too, like Lincoln had to deal with serious threats to the Nation. Lincoln suspended habeas corpus (so did George) but, to paraphrase Lloyd Bentsen in his debate with Dan Quayle — “Mr. President, you’re no Lincoln”. Skip this video; there are much better histories of Lincoln than this production.
