Duel with the Devil, concluded

Burr as feminist:  "I hope by her (his daughter) to convince the world . . . that women have souls."
Burr the liberal; Hamilton an advocate of the property class. . . The trial is exceptionally long--two days.  It also goes until well after midnight both days. . .  Ezra Weeks, universally condemned before the trial, is exonerated by the team of Hamilton/Burr . . . Hamilton passionate and eloquent; Burr slow and precise, both effective . . . The landlord of house, Elias Ring, having an affair with Elma Sands . . . trial is transcribed (first time in US history) After the trial, immediately some quick summaries are available to hungry, scandal-loving public.  Two weeks later, the complete transcript (99 pages) is published--the first complete transcript of a trial in the USA. . . Hamilton money problems. . . Burr "invents" today's politics, getting out and hustling for votes in NYC election, hoping to sweep all offices for his liberal friends==and doing so.  Burr as Jefferson's VP is pushed aside, Jefferson shuns him . . . hard time for Burr . . . Burr is ruined financially and politically. He hears that Hamilton, at a dinner party, has heaped scorn on him.   Duel challenge. . . Hamilton not eager, but agrees.  New Jersey (legal there) . . . Hamilton shoots into trees; Burr kills Hamilton . . . reviled in NYC for the killing . . . ends up in Paris, penniless . . . returns to NYC and is a hard-working lawyer . . . never escapes the reprobation for killing Hamilton.

Well is located at 129 Spring Street in NYC
Burr's bank ends up being Chase Manhattan (Manhattan Water Works)
Real murderer is Richard Croucher, a cloth merchant who does everything he can to frame Weeks.  Croucher in England is let off for earlier crime on "insanity" plea. (Stolen boots.)  Croucher rapes his stepdaughter, convicted, released on insanity with promise to return to Britain, instead goes to Virginia

Weeks ends up in Natchez, as an architect, and finally puts his life back together

Oppenheimer . . . film

 Solid opening 30 minutes (we're treating this like a mini-series).  O's involvement with left-wing causes . . . rift with Einstein (O thinks of him as over-the-hill and Einstein knows it.)  First splitting of atom.  Lawrence Lab in Berkeley--Lawrence practical applied physics . . . not O's strength.  Main actor is from Peaky Blinders.

The Master Chapter 2

February 1895 (Alice died in 1892) Money problems, jealousy of Wilde; time spent with Lord Wolseley1; off to Ireland to lick his wounds; Irish unrest--Irish landlords boycott all social events; much time spent with manservant Hammond (homosexual attraction again); fancy dress ball, appalling to James, who is only happy in company of Hammond, though Hammond remains a servant and no more; little girl alone on the grounds--inspiration for Turn of the Screw?; conflict with Webster who alludes to Wilde's successful play and HJ's failure; Wolseley was an  Anglo-Irish  officer in the  British Army . He became one of the most influential and admired British generals after a series of successes in Canada, West Africa, and Egypt, followed by a central role in modernizing the British Army in promoting efficiency. He served in Burma, the  Crimean War , the  Indian Mutiny , China, Canada and widely throughout Africa—including his  Ashanti  campaign (1873–1874) and the  Nile Exp
