For those interested in Calvin Coolidge (or even American history in general), there is a best-selling biography of him recently published titled simply Coolidge. The author is Amity Shlaes (who is probably best known for her anti-Roosevelt history of the New Deal, The Forgotten Man). It's published by Harper Collins.

I'm reading it now and it has worthwhile lessons for today, especially how a low taxing, low spending government can do wonders for the economy.

Been hearing about her book....  Part of the reason I posted this. I think I heard Glenn Beck today referring to this address by Calvin Coolidge on the 150th birthday of The Declaration/ Last two paragraphs are good where Coolidge disagrees with the progressives of his era
