Mary Lincoln Extra Credit Questions

[davg2000]

In 2009 I heard Michael Burlingame say approximately this: "Mary Lincoln was very, very, very, very bad." (He was referring to her time in the White House. The four "veries" are verbatim.) Mary's biographer, Catherine Clinton, was at the speakers' table as well. She tried to mollify Dr. Burlingame, saying, "We can agree to disagree" about Mary. Burlingame would have none of that.
