“I do not seek applause, nor to amuse the people, I want to convince them.” —Abraham Lincoln Photograph by Dr. Alan KoslowDavid Hirsch and Dan Van Haften AUTHOR'S VOICE® The Ultimate Guide to the Gettysburg Address VIDEO from The Abraham Lincoln Book Shop (A House Divided)  Mr. Speaker. At Macabbee's Deli in Des Moines, January 1, 2012. Speaker, Newt Gingrich Meets David Hirsch & The Structure of Reason: The Speaker started shaking hands, maybe three seconds a person. I was about the fourth person he shook hands with. I thanked him for his clarity on the middle east, then told him I wanted to give him a copy of a book about Lincoln that I co-authored, pulling it out as I spoke. He looked at the cover, and asked, "Is this the book on Lincoln and geometry?" I said, "Yes." He said, "I have the book on my Kindle. It completely changed the way I give speeches." He said he would accept the book only if I endorsed it. I opened the book to the already endorsed title page.
