Bill,

For more wonderful impressions of Day-Lewis, I recommend his award-winning performance in "My Left Foot."

But did I hear Lesley Stahl correctly, when she referred to the death of the second Lincoln child, Willie?

If so, she was mistaken, since Eddie was the second child. Willie would have been the second child who died, but I don't think that was how she meant it.

Did anyone else hear it the same way I did?

I heard it, too: "When the movie starts, their second child, Willie, has already died." A slight misstep in an otherwise brilliant piece.
