RE: Something about John Wilkes Booth you may not know...
Joe,
You're right that we've danced this dance before, and I'm got far too much work to do to take another round on the floor, but I just want to ask one question. What does knowing Booth's political views do for us? It certainly cannot justify his actions (which I want to vigorously acknowledge that no one here has suggested), and it isn't a legal defense, so I guess I'm saying, yes, Booth may have seen it as a political act. So what? Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
