@acmccallum @TheAtlantic @mcookhistory The poet W H Auden wrote that “a professor is someone who talks in someone else’s sleep” … hope that’s not happening to you

@PatrickNunn3 @TheAtlantic @mcookhistory Fantastic Patrick. Since working with you, I constantly re-evaluate any stories/tales that I come across: what was their basis? Fascinating work...
