Melting away: wax statue of Lincoln
The Roman historian Livy was big on prodigies and other unusual events, which he interpreted as cryptic messages from Heaven. He’d have a field day with this one.

A wax (really?) statue of President Abraham Lincoln has melted in the heat of a Washington, D.C., summer. Well, a good bit of it, at least.
Is the spirit of Lincoln trying to tell us something? I very much doubt the message, if there is one, is “Keep up the good work, you’re doin’ great!”
And just in time for the presidential debate, too! Is Lincoln unhappy with the state of our republic? If so, he has a lot of company. Can you imagine some of the huckleberries we have today serving as president during the Civil War? Both sides would have lost.
Again, now seems like a good time for some serious national soul-searching.
Before anything else melts.
