...Florida. There's even one in Spain. You can find other groups of historical impersonators--they go by names like Living Legends, the California outfit that can send your school or Rotary Club this one guy who can go from portraying Thomas Jefferson and Harry Truman to, unaccountably, Golda Meir. (Peter Small is his name, and he says his portrayal of the epicene Israeli is meant with respect.) But the association of Lincolns is unique, a claque devoted to a single historical figure...

For Spitzer and his colleagues, their countrymen and millions of sympathizers, it was a senseless act of brutality...
...federal grand jury indicts seven top White House aides on charges of conspiring to impede the Watergate investigation. 3 - Golda Meir resigns unexpectedly from her position as Israeli Prime Minister. 6 - The Committee on House and Undergraduate Life votes to equalize the enrollment of men and women through either sex-blind or equal admissions. 11 - Vice President Gerald Ford accepts a Man of the Year award from the Young Republicans at the Harvard Club of Boston as several hundred demonstrators rallied outside, chanting "jail to the chief" and "dump Nixon, junk Ford." 13 - An Economics Department review committee releases...
