19 November 1863 - US PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN DELIVERS A STIRRING
MEMORIAL SPEECH: In a two-minute speech, Lincoln captures why he thinks
the Union must win the Civil War - not just to save the nation but to
deliver equality to all men, a "new birth of freedom," as he puts it. He
delivers this address at the dedication of a cemetery at the site of one
of war's the bloodiest battles.

  * I don't know who Tess is trying to "kid" with the quinoa.
  It was first imported from Chile in the 1980s. Canned beans
  were not common until after 1908. And rotissiere chickens
  .......  Abe was annointed in 1861. That does not compute.
  Still, it's a tasty soup. But don't try to B.S. a B.S.er
