Every schoolchild with enough smarts and curiosity to get beyond
the latest video game of "Call of Duty" ought to go see "Lincoln," the
movie, and check out the references and his own attention span. It
requires patience, but it shows through dramatic action how a self-taught
rustic from the deep backwoods had the emotional and intellectual
discipline to overcome poverty and grow up to be a president to rank among
the greatest.
This is not about the American Dream or a Horatio Alger story. (Does anybody remember him?) Nor is it mythmaking. It's made of sterner stuff than that....
