Hey, Bill--

I took that course in about 1990 and it was given out, at least at the Silver Spring, MD, Dale Carnagie classes, for recognition of a particularly excellent public speaking effort. I was proud to get a copy and it read well. I seem to remember reading that Carnagie structured much of his "How to Win Friends and Influence People" on his studies of Lincoln; especially how Lincoln modified his behavior afteer his close brush with a duel.
