"Abraham Lincoln as Commander in Chief" James M. McPherson, Professor of History Emeritus, Princeton University, October 27, 2008, 60 minutes
Conversations host Harry Kreisler welcomes Pulitzer Prize winning historian and Princeton Professor Emeritus James M. McPherson for a discussion of his new book, Trial by War. Their discussion focuses on the qualities that defined Abraham Lincoln's leadership, how he came to define the role of commander in chief, the evolution of his thinking on national policy with regard to slavery, how his goal of saving the Union shaped the politics of the war, his relationship to his generals, and the thinking and circumstances that led to his suspension of habeas corpus and the initiation of military tribunals. Professor McPherson reflects on the lessons to be learned from Lincoln's conduct of the civil war and its implications for today's wars.

A dead bee with a positive electrostatic charge falls into a grounded spider web, drawing the flexible silk toward it before it even hits the web. This attraction could help spider webs capture prey, since most flying insects have a positive electrical charge because of friction with air molecules.
