@adam_hanson1@GB2d I do not know what the current Court -- or the current Congress -- thinks of William Cushing. My campaign to put Chief Justice Cushing in the Great Hall is my own, not @GB2d's, so I do not expect anything about the Cushing bobblehead to change, unless his official status changes.
@margiedeck @drmjones@mattias221b @Sweeper887 Margie, that is so kind of you, and so pleasing to hear, especially from someone who so often fills a peg for so many of us. Thank you!
Fancy something a little recherche for a Monday evening? Then join @drmjones and @horacefuller for 'Arthur Conan Doyle and the Adventure of the Gaiola Malediction' at the Portsmouth Library Worldwide Doyle Zoom event, Monday 26th June, 7pm. Register here: https://t.co/riohZCvYd1

@victorianclare In the legal academy we have a simple solution to many problems of this sort. It is the brilliant @OrinKerr's brilliant "A Theory of Law." For a full expression of his theory, accompanied by much commentary: https://t.co/Z67YHmCpoV
@TheMysterious Some reworkings happened long ago, in the very time and culture in which a story was written. Compare, eg, the UK and US versions of Poirot's search for Mr. Davenby (https://t.co/7dIULUPfbp). Is the meaning of a contemporaneous reworking different from the meaning of a later one?
On 3/28 @ 7pm ET the Bimetallic Question will hold its next virtual "All of Doyle" meeting, featuring 3 of Doyle's sporting tales: Croxley Master, Spedegue's Dropper and King of the Foxes, plus a talk by @CanadianHolmes. To request a Zoom link, email [email protected]

Even in its current beta-ish form, @noam's "Post." is looking like an excellent new social media platform -- clean, easy, intuitive. And good communications about developments.
When we gather to cheer Doylean Honorees @TheMysterious on Jan. 5 in NYC, we’ll also see a new kind of Wessex Cup. Details in first issue of The Doylean Sporting Times, available at https://t.co/m3wwlvWndR. Extraordinary equine outfitting by Peggy MacFarlane.
Will @ProfWrightGMU notice that this is a COFFEE-table treatise with the CONSUMER WELFARE standard on its frontispiece? Has there ever been a book more perfectly aligned to the foundations on which his scholarship stands?
At long last, we are ready to release our first "coffee-table treatise" -- "Regulation and Imagination: Legal and Literary Perspectives on Fox-hunting" -- with a formidable list of expert contributors, legal and literary. Details later this week.
Sherlock Holmes would be optimistic: "The cricket page is beside the financial one, and I turned to it to find if Surrey was holding its own against Kent." Arthur Conan Doyle, How Watson Learned the Trick (1924) https://t.co/dKdZBaMFE7
