The Henry James List is free

I left the elist, finally; they are moving to Facebook anyway and now only have Casey's silliness in the absence of my tendency to be disruptive. Casey Abel has a nearly photographic memory of James, but treats his data like a game of trivial pursuit, annoying everyone until the new (2012?) crop of non-academics inveighed.

Sometimes things need to reach a conclusion, however. I haven't been booted by Wapo yet despite their skittishness with any citation of Asian abortion rates, but I am not after acrimony with the grand dame. I started the Bernstein Woodward 4 dollar memoir of Watergate, and cannot see how Nixon would have fundamentally destroyed the republic by becoming dictator; my oversimplification, I suppose.
