I remember standing by his statue in Springfield and considering the irony of the fact of the placement of the statue of Martin Luther King Jr. not too far from there. Bill, you might be right there. Douglas' view of popular soveriegnty regarding the slavery question does not hold him on ahigh pedestal in todays world. Craig |
