Reading ‘Team of Rivals” by Doris Kearns Goodwin and calling it research. Biog of Abraham Lincoln and how he managed to get a cabinet of disparate rivals, personalities working together through the Civil War back in the 19teens. I have fived colleagues in my play who become putative rivals. I bought the book over two years ago and hadn’t yet started to read it, well now I can okay because it’s research and that’s important right okay? Right?
