1926 Sesquicentennial Half Dollar.
Calvin Coolidge is the only living president
ever depicted on an American coin.
Four articles (and several illustrations) currently are posted below. They are by-products from research, production and editing of "Things of the Spirit," a comprehensive biographical film on the personal and political life of Calvin Coolidge:
- "The Case for Cal" — an editorial published by The New York Sun in July 2007.
- "Things of the Spirit" — a second editorial piece on Coolidge requested by the Sun shortly before the newspaper ceased publication in September 2008.
- "Calvin Coolidge: Revisioning History" — a paper delivered at The American Presidency on Film, a national conference at Westlake California in November 2000. The three-day conference was attended by presidential scholars, academics and media people. In addition to the paper, a one-hour preview of "Things of the Spirit" was screened at a plenary session.
- "A Democrat Views Coolidge" — an address delivered at the Annual Meeting of The Calvin Coolidge Memorial Foundation in August 1988, prior to initial fundraising and subsequent production of "Things of the Spirit."
