... that today is the anniversary of the Lincoln-Douglas Debates? The first of the seven famous debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas, both senatorial candidates from Illinois, took place on August 21, 1858. Trivia buffs: The format for each debate was: one candidate spoke for 60 minutes, then the other candidate spoke for 90 minutes, and then the first candidate was allowed a 30-minute "rejoinder." The candidates alternated speaking first.
Today's Inspirational Quote:
"Rules of living: Don't worry, eat three square meals a day, say your prayers, be courteous to your creditors, keep your digestion good, steer clear of biliousness, exercise, go slow and go easy. Maybe there are other things that your special case requires to make you happy, but, my friend, these, I reckon, will give you a good life."
By Abraham Lincoln
