Lincoln’s Temperance Address
Even though this organization was not a religious one, the crowd that gathered in the Second Presbyterian Church probably did not expect his approach.
The list of its friends is daily swelled by the additions of fifties, of hundreds, and of thousands. The cause itself seems suddenly transformed from a cold abstract theory, to a living, breathing, active, and powerful chieftain, going forth "conquering and to conquer."
For this new and splendid success, we heartily rejoice. That that success is so much greater now than heretofore, is doubtless owing to rational causes; and if we would have it continue, we shall do well to inquire what those causes ...
A Quick Trip on the Bus
These flights have been regarded as tests of the Zond complex involving the firing of the fourth stage of the UR-500 rocket to put the L1 spacecraft into an elliptical trajectory to test high speed re-entry. Considerable disagreements exist as to what happened to these flights. Did they fail, and if so, why?

Andrew Bird — Eyeoneye Video
In late 2011 Bird signed to the record label Mom+Pop. Andrew Bird's first release for the label was the soundtrack to the film Norman, which included his original score as well as songs by other artists. Bird sequenced the soundtrack to flow as a stand-alone album rather than a compilation of music from the film.
The best compliment I've heard is that without having seen the film, you can imagine it by listening to the soundtrack. The sequence is a big part of that effect.
Andrew Bird is currently on tour. Visit his site to see if he plays in your city.
