The association was created on 1 July 1913, to build the first improved coast-to-coast highway in America. It was proposed in 1912 to run east-west from New York on the Atlantic coast to San Francisco on the Pacific coast, and was named in memory of Abraham Lincoln, as ‘The Lincoln Highway.’”

Open to lawful traffic of all descriptions without toll charges.
— Lincoln Highway Association
From the Proclamation by the Lincoln Highway Association (13 Sep 1913), announcing the route of the Lincoln Highway. In the Lincoln Highway Association, The Lincoln Highway: the Story of a Crusade That Made Transportation History (1935), 61.

In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
(1987) --
