re: #33 Bear

Was not some suspicion that toward Wilson’s end it was actually his wife that was acting as President? Mental failure?

There’s actually a section in a book I mentioned the other day about the 1918 flu pandemic where there is some speculation that he may have suffered from that particularly dreadful flu strain. I am not qualified to judge the merits of the claim, but his behavior during the peace negotiations was one of the “clues” the author brought up.

Link to The Great Influenza on Amazon. Highly recommended. I don’t know how to link through the LGF page so Charles gets a cut.
