The Lincoln Connection

What started out as just a strange coincidence--quite a few connections to the word Lincoln throughout these cases--has morphed into quite a long list. With that said, America is full of streets, schools and parks named after presidents (Lincoln seems to be a particular favorite), so please take this with a grain of salt.
