24 1ST READER "What logic...what's where you needed a tape recorder. MR. LINCOLN (reading on) "Amid I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race." 1ST READER "Your best way out...is to say that you didn't write you speeches." MR. LINCOLN "I would not lie...I wrote every word." 1ST READER "Then you should be double-damned...for you had the power with the single stroke of the pen a chance to cross out those infamous words." MR. LINCOLN "My thoughts changed and I crossed those words out with action. I went to war and emacipated every black man. I even gave my life." 1ST READER "Going to war is not holy, Mr. Lincoln, it's giving into 500 million years of killer instinct, embeded in the psychic pattern of man, animal kind. Freud tries to give you a way out...he said that sex was man's strongest drive...It isn't and it never has been...it's territory, and that's what unites you with your poor relations, animal kind, that you've tried to forget philosopically and psychologically." MR. LINCOLN "I know that we are all animals...and you perhaps more so then most."
