RE: Who is this person?
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. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln in the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell

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

RE: Who is this person?
Roger, it's not Ludwig.
Gene, he has written on Lincoln-related topics, but not a biography. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln in the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell

RE: Who is this person?
Laurie, he certainly was an author.
Anita, no to the political arena. Clue #2. Carl Sandburg once called him a "fuddy duddy." Best Rob Abraham Lincoln in the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell

RE: Who is this person?
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.
