Eva, very early this morning I had the same problem. I tried several times, and finally on about the 5th attempt, the image opened. I was worried it might not open again, so I copied it to my hard drive. Just now I uploaded it to my server and will post for anyone having problems seeing the photo.

RE: Who is this person?
That's odd, because it shows up clearly on my screen. Thanks for doing that, Roger.

That's a good guess, but it isn't Lord Charnwood.

Clue #1. He was NOT an academic, but he had their respect.

Sorry Roger, but it's not him either.

Is this person an author of a book on Lincoln?
So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?

Roger, it's not Ludwig.

Gene, he has written on Lincoln-related topics, but not a biography.

Laurie, he certainly was an author.

Anita, no to the political arena.

Clue #2. Carl Sandburg once called him a "fuddy duddy."

It is Bullard. My next two clues were going to be 1)He wrote about a family that had a connection to the television show "The Incredible Hulk." (Bill Bixby and the Bixby letter), and 2)he was a book thief (per the attached article). I was going to stay away from his winning the Pulitzer Prize for editorial commentary as I knew that would give it away.
