- American Prankster: Benjamin Franklin
- "Jefferson was a child of the Enlightenment, and arguably the most enlightened of them all. For two centuries, historians have found him “maddening,” “a sphinx,” “a mass of contradictions,” “an enigma” and you get the point… Some modern historians, who dedicate their entire careers to analysis-by-single-issue, usually fail to acknowledge whatever might be understood as a whole. Then of course, there is the sneaky feeling that Mr. J. did not wish to be so easily understood."
