'Schindler's List' and 'Saving Private Ryan' were both great movies.  You can nitpick with either of them ('Schindler's List' does so many subtly great things until Liam Neeson breaks down in uncharacteristic fashion, 'Saving Private Ryan' has a plot that seems a little implausible), but they still are exemplary…

Yeah, could have definitely made an interesting movie out of that.  And the Emancipation Proclamation was such a thorny thing, given that Lincoln understood that the American people did NOT want the war to be a war for the freedom of African-American slaves.  He had to wait until a victory so that the proclamation…

I just finished reading the Kearns Goodwin book on Lincoln and she makes a point of denying Lincoln's alleged homosexuality several times—giving the whole "looks weird to modern people to have two guys sleeping together and writing love letters to each other, but actually lots of people did so without having sexual…
