Philuva,

Researching information without the Internet!

It's hard to imagine the way we had to write reports looking up stuff in card catalogs and microfilm and stuff at the library. Oh man, that sucked. The difference between being good at that or not was incredible in terms of how long it took to get a report or research paper done.

I'm using microfilm on my report on Abraham Lincoln's suspension of habeas corpus.

Make sure to mentioned how Lincoln issued an arrest warrant for Chief Justice Tawny, the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, when Tawny issued an opinion that Lincoln's suspension of habeas corpus was unconstitutional. Jolly old Abe.
