Pitch-perfect review of my Parthenon Marbles book by J Geddes @reviewcanada: "Dismissing the claims of the cultures that created the pieces in the first place has rightly fallen into deep disrepute. But switching to vilifying museums... isn’t much better." reviewcanada.ca/magazine/2024/…

Nixon resigned before he could be impeached, becoming the first President to step down. Several of his top advisors — including the White House lawyer, Chief of Staff and Attorney General — did prison time.
The Committee to Re-elect the President was using mechanisms of government to attack domestic opponents in the press and the political world, even breaking into the psychiatrist’s office of the Pentagon Papers leaker, Daniel Ellsberg, to see what kind of dirt they could use to smear him.
