Many people prior to the Civil War believed slavery was a dying institution; Abraham Lincoln, being one of them. That's one of the main reasons he was so keenly intent on preserving the union instead of fighting for abolitionism. There are many Lincoln letters that give his detailed view of how and when he thought slavery would end. "Lincoln: Speeches and Writing" is just one.
Except the puzzle states the two were having an animated discussion over what to buy their mother for her forthcoming birthday...and it's a brother and sister.
Barry Bonds and Roger Clemons never failed a drug test either. Professional cyclists Maarten Ducrot, Steven Rooks, Peter Winnen, Francesco Moser, Claudio Chiappucci, Bo Hamburger, Rolf Aldag, Christian Henn, Bjarne Riis, and on and on... have all admitted to doping but were never caught. The rampant drug use in cycling is legendary. So if they all do it, why even test? Professional cyclists Vicente López Carril of Spain, dead at 37;Marc Demeyer, dead at 31; Geert Van de Walle, dead at 22; Johannes Draaijer, dead at 27; Joachim Halupczok, dead at 26; and unfortunately, this list could also go on and on too. 18 cyclists' deaths between 1987-1991 alone were attributed to doping.
If you asked me in my opinion if Lance Armstrong doped, I wouldn't hesitate in responding, "Yes."
I surmize everyone has a physical age, an emotional age, and a mental age. What's being described here is what I think of as a person's mental age which at some point stops aging. Personally, I've determined my mental age is 23. That's the point in my life where I was out of school, living on my own, and had for the most part formed the opinions that make up my life. It's when the physical age doesn't meet the expectations of the mental age that sucks!
I saw a biography of the great cartoonist Chuck Jones and he was asked what it felt like to be in his upper 80's. He said how astonished he was that he didn't feel any different than when he was 18. It was just his old, creeky body that kept reminding him he wasn't! Spot on Chuck.
Regarding how Bill Murray was to work with, I recall reading back in the day that Richard Dreyfuss couldn't stand him when working on "What About Bob?" If you ever watch that movie, most of the annoyance/irritation, etc... displayed by Dreyfuss wasn't an act. Puts the movie in a whole different light!
I worked on Capital Hill during the hearings. It was surreal seeing John Denver in his fuzzy sweater next to Dee Snider in his ripped jeans, next to Frank Zappa in his suit and tie. It's a crime, the infinite number of idiotic hearings Congress is engaged in. Congressmen and women who prattle on enraptured with the sound of their own voice.
