Ray,
I consider myself fairly well read, plus I was a counselor for 20+ years, and I only have a passing knowledge of Rush. A lot of these things while fascinating would only be accessible to someone who has read a biography about him. I would suggest if you're are going to refer to events and items, the knowledge of which could only come by the means of biography, then you footnote these as the general reader will have no chance to understand. T.S. Elliot did this all the time. As far as the fonts, if you originally type this in a program like MS Word, if you use a 12 pt New Times font, it will be the same as the default font on this site. I know this as that is what I use, although I suspect that any general 12 pt. font type will be rendered the same.
I find the quote of Thomas Jefferson interesting, in that he loved him greatly, despite the fact that he knew the harm Rush was doing. I find that more compelling than the quote from William B. Bean which is obviously several years down the road. I think it should be noted that Lincoln was taking a tonic made with mercury for depression up until the time of his death, and dentistry has used the stuff until just recently. I'm quite sure a hundred years from now (if humans still exits) they will look back on this time period where people had no implants that automatically fixed any damage they sustained, and wonder how we could exists in such a brutal world, whereas if you took a person from 100/150 years ago and showed them a ct scan or an mir, they would think it was witchcraft.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
