The following paragraphs are cut from a posting on another net.  Readers
of alt.war.civil.usa may recall a discussion a few weeks ago about
Lincoln's head wound.

Quote begins:

   List readers may be interested in an article that appears in the
March 1995 issue of _American Heritage_ magazine entitled "How Did
Lincoln Die?" witten by Dr. Richard A.R. Fraser.

   Fraser, a neurosurgeon at Cornell Medical Center, contends that
Lincoln may have survived his bullet wound had doctors on the scene
adhered to even the rudimentary sanitatioln standards of the time and
resisted the urge to stick unsterilized probes and fingers into the
entry area. He also contends that Booth's gun "had a muzzle velocity and
wounding capacity equal to those of an air gun." Therefore it did not
make a large cavity and destroy much brain tissue or many blood vessels.
The Sunday, February 19, issue of the _Rocky Mountain News_ (one of the
two major Denver dailies) carries a long article entitled "Civil War
Over Lincoln's Death" by science writer Joseph B. Verrengia, which
describes the _American Heritage_ piece in a very unfavorable light.
Verrengia interviews several promenent Denver neurosurgeons after having
them read the article. One of them, Dr. Gary Vander Ark, calls the piece
"...a sensational story--absolutely dreadful." Dr. Robert Breeze of the
University of Colorado Health Sciences Center is quoted as saying, "it's
obvious the bullet went across the midline of his brain, hit the right
orbit, fractured it and bounced back into the brain. The data proves it
is a fatal injury. He (Fraser) simply misinterprets it."
