6. Polk comes to mind. He was ill and died shortly after his presidency. I just saw it was typhoid related (in fact, the article blamed typhoid for both Harrison and Taylor's deaths) but I'll always remember the official cause of death from an old textbook - "chronic diarrhea". What a way to go.

1..SVC WAVES to us from his perch.

2..Our 1st 3 posters all ID Lisa. It was vs the extinct Miami club(?)

3..SVC catches the culprits.

4..A few guesses, but all misguided. It was the guy who hawked those Little Liver Pills.

5..We're truly bereft when it comes to the Papa Psychologist. He maintained that the 3 components of personality were id, ego superego. Then he wrote that said superego had 2 parts. One we understand as conscience, our repository of guilt. The 2nd is the ego ideal, our concept of how we hold ourselves, what we are willing and not willing to do.

8..Big has not forgotten some things about jolly ol' Limeyland.
