Fields, Lighthouse Harry Lee and his son Robert, Walter Savage Landor, John Basil Turchin, Tokugawa… Warning: The discussion of Turchin’s court martial is botched.

Friends have been writing me emails and sending texts wanting my “take” on the Iowa primary. My first response is: Trump won by over 90 %. As for the Democratic losers–the entire pack–they have to be thinking. Who stands to gain?

Richard Savage, whose birthday falls in January, was a close friend of Johnson who celebrated his unfortunate life and death in prison from liver failure. This passage is from a longer satire “The Authors.” Note how brutally relevant are down to the last detail, e.g., the stupid press’s attack on inoculation and their cruelty toward the unfortunate.
A 13 minute podcast responding to comments on requests sent in at the end of the year…
