Time Magazine and Lincoln
May 17, 2005
I was interviewed for about an hour yesterday by a Time magazine reporter who says they’re planning a cover story on Lincoln this summer. He also interviewed Clyde Wilson, Don Livingston, and everyone else who is teaching at Don’s Abbeville Institute summer school in July. He attended an all-day seminar on Lincoln presented by Clyde. The reporter sounded like a smart and decent fellow, but that may just mean that he’s a clever hatchet man. We’ll see.
