This the capital budget (which the Senate was status as it is. stuff needs to stop. supposed to handle) and rammed the bill out of the House and over to the Senate at around 11:30 pm. The Senate passed the bill not long after midnight. But, apparently, when the House hastily combined the two bills, nobody checked the effective date language at the tail end of the legislation. The budget bill has 178 different articles, and each appropriation is spelled out in individual sections of those articles. The end of the appropriations bill has a short paragraph listing the effective dates for the articles. But articles 45-128 were not given any effective dates – about 47 percent of all the articles in the appropriations bill. And since the Senate passed the bill after midnight, by law, the appropriations articles without an assigned effective date can’t take effect until June 1, 2022 – only a month before the end of the coming fiscal year. Oops. The mistake means that the entire supplemental appropriation for the current fiscal year couldn’t be spent until almost a year from now. And tons of other programs, from tourism, to natural resources, to corrections, to employment security, to human rights, to, well, you can pretty much name it, wouldn’t legally have access to their appropriations until next June, either.

The first known photograph of Lincoln, taken when he was in his mid-30s, by Nicholas H. Shepherd circa 1846 in Springfield. Robert Todd Lincoln wrote that this “daguerreotype was on the walls of a room in my father’s house from my earliest recollection as a companion picture to that of my mother.” Growing up in central Illinois, the noted geologist John Wesley Powell observed Lincoln and said “this is Lincoln as I knew him; his sad, dreamy eye, his pensive smile, his sad and delicate face, his pyramidal shoulders, are the characteristics I best remember.” FROM THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, COLORIZED BY JORDAN J.

temperament that she lacked. She had been raised with the help of servants and thought housework to be beneath her. Lincoln did the dishes and the grocery shopping, sat (sometimes inattentively) with the kids. She was capable of assaulting the hired help to the point of injury, and attacked Lincoln physically as well. People who knew him speculated that Lincoln continued to endure riding the judicial circuit in central Illinois after he could afford not to because it gave him a chance to get away from Todd for months each year. Lincoln could not escape his wife in the White House. She referred to herself not as First Lady but as “Mrs. President” and expected to be treated as such. She was a terror to visitors and staff (Lincoln’s secretary, John Nicolay, referred to her as “Her S[atanic] Majesty”) and a pest to many of Lincoln’s colleagues and subordinates. Stories of her jealousies, her shopping orgies, her feuds and backbiting and rages were common. She made herself hated, and when the widow Lincoln applied for a government pension after the war, sentiment was against granting her the money. Burlingame casts light on a question that had puzzled dozens of their friends and family – why did they wed? People who knew each partner best thought them a poor match. Lincoln, realizing that they were ill-suited to each other and smitten by another woman, broke off the engagement for a time. But friends and acquaintances reported that Lincoln was tormented by the thought that he had treated Mary badly. The dilemma Lincoln thus found himself in left him so wretched that friends fretted for his well-being. Herndon provides a knowing explanation, which Burlingame seconds. “Lincoln knew that he did not love the girl: he had promised to wed her: he knew what would eventually come of it and it was a conflict between sacrificing his honor and The Lincolns strolling by the White House, drawing by Pierre Morand, 1864. Morand, a French businessman, met Lincoln in Washington during the Civil War and recalled that the president’s “features and movements sacrificing his domestic peace: he chose the impressed me so vividly, that I made several good sketches of him in various attitudes in June, 1864.” There latter – saved his honor and threw away is no photograph of the Lincolns together, for the five-foot-two-inch First Lady did not want to be shown domestic happiness.” dwarfed by her six-foot-four-inch husband.

In his method, Burlingame resembles Springfield attorney Logan Hay, longtime president of the Abraham Lincoln Association, who in the 1920s set that organization to collecting all the known facts about L’s life (to borrow from A. J. Liebling) “as if he was preparing a lawsuit.” He does not intend to contribute to the debate about the nature and significance of the marriage but to settle the question once and for all. The present book runs to some 300 pages, and that total does not count his research notes, which Burlingame has published separately on the website of University of Illinois Springfield. In an appendix he adds his appraisal of the literature on the Lincolns’ marriage, for which the serious student will be grateful.

When temperatures soar there’s nothing so pleasing as a recipe that doesn’t require the use of an oven or stove. Enter the icebox cake. These old-fashioned desserts became popular in the 1930s as reliable refrigeration became a new reality for many American households. Essentially a spinoff of classic layered desserts like trifle tiramisu, an icebox cake doesn’t actually contain any “cake.” Instead, crispy cookies are layered with creamy filling and additions like fruit or nuts then allowed to set for an extended period of time in the refrigerator. Not really so much a recipe as a formula, this dessert is infinitely adaptable and a great option for feeding a large group of people. It’s also an easy choice for folks with dietary concerns, thanks to a greater availability of specialty vegan/gluten- free products on the market. The dish Icebox cakes can be made in any regular baking dish and served right out of the dish. Or they can be made in a loaf or springform pan and turned out for a more elegant presentation. You can also create a free form cake directly on a plate or cake stand. Just be sure there’s space available in the fridge.
