Karl Swenson rather than Raymond Massey in this version of Robert Sherwood’s play but I enjoyed hearing it. It's such a cynical take on the marriage of Lincoln and Mary Todd - maybe "cynical" isn't the right word... non-worshipful? Goes up until Lincoln's arrival in Washington - being a young man, death of Ann Rutledge (did they even go out), meeting ambitious Mary, the slave debates, etc.
