Did Lincoln Own Slaves? by Gerald J. Prokopowi

“It is good to have this book arrive near the head of the stream of publications certain to appear as we approach the bicentennial next year of Abraham Lincoln’s birth. Most of the books to come will treat only one phase of Lincoln’s life or focus on a particular aspect of his life and work. “Did Lincoln Own Slaves?” has no such limits, as it treats in question-and-answer style matters on the minds of curious folks wanting to know more about the man regarded by many as our nation’s greatest president. Read this book, and you will be an informed reader of the others, and even if you don’t read other ones, you will still be equipped to engage knowledgeably in conversations about Lincoln.” Read the review at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

"Big Oil is dying . . . The jury is out on whether the average consumer will be affected. The oil companies say with some justification that the state-owned companies don’t produce oil and natural gas as well as they – Big Oil – can. They say that means less and less supply – or at least not as much supply as might be expected – from these countries in the coming years. That’s important, especially since tight global supplies are one reason for $95-a-barrel oil right now." [ Read the rest of the interview ]
