Speaking of Mr. Ward, you will be glad to hear that it is time for another edition of
"Mr. Ward's Presidential Korner." Today Mr. Ward sends us
a video clip ("click" here) of an actual witness to the
Lincoln assassination appearing as a contestant on a TV game show. He's a little shaky. As the host explains, "By golly, he got to the hotel and fell down the steps and gave himself a shiner." (To see
John Cage on another episode of the same game show,
"click" here. Game shows used to be different!)
