On this day in 1865 the United States flag was once again raised over 
Ft. Sumter in Charleston harbor to mark the end of the Second War of 
Independence.  President Lincoln, unable to attend, sent a letter 
marking the occasion.  The president sent his secretary John G. Nicolay.


That evening, he went to the theater.

I'll bet you can still teach the current pups a few tricks the ol girls can do.

I'll bet you can still fly left seat, with a good crew.

Kinda like the story about Fangio doing a few laps in a W196 in CA a 
few years ago.  First lap he was smiling and waving,  Second lap the 
new SL camera car was having trouble keeping up.  Third lap  the SL 
spun out on the back of the track and Fangio was flyin and dead 
serious as he went past the crowd.  Not bad for 80-something.


(repeated in the current Star, letters column)



Streaked?  ;)

Anyway, sure looks familiar.  'Hard to realize my last flight aboard

Re: [MBZ] OT Wilton your call-up is coming

2015-04-08 Thread G Mann
Under the judicial system, as it works, each murder committed in the
bombing is an individual act of murder. Each person maimed is an individual
harmed by a separate act accountable under the law, thus multiple counts.

If your neighbor was killed in the blast and your wife also.. and the perp
was only found guilty of killing your neighbor would you have closure, feel
justice had been served?

Further, all capital counts go to automatic appeal. On appeal, each count
is treated, rightfully, as a separate case. If one count is set aside on
appeal, say in this hypothetical, the murder of your neighbor, and the perp
was not found guilty of the murder of your wife, under the double jeopardy
rule which basically says, you can only be tried once, opening yet another
case to charge the perp with the murder of your wife would be legally
difficult and unlikely.. so the perp would be released, knowing he was
guilty of the second murder..

Thus,,, cover all the bases in one trial with multiple counts.

Our public TV channel here in SC has made some very good 
documentary-type shows about the history here, and the second war of 
independence and how the people in various parts of the state conducted 
themselves.  One of them had a good part being an interview with SF 
based on his books, he was extremely interesting and a character 
himself. I don't remember which show it was, but they tend to show them 
every now and then, and I think you can stream them off their web site.  
If I see it again I will post it.


You might want to look up Dr. Walter Edgar, he is a prof who has written 
a lot on the history of SC, and has a radio show every Friday on the 
public radio, usually an interview of someone who has written a history 
of some aspect of SC, the war and whatever else. He spoke at an event I 
went to last fall, he seemed a bit scattered but his talk was still 
interesting.  You can get the podcasts if you want to listen to them, or 
stream it live.



http://etvradio.org/programs/walter-edgars-journal

Last week's was pretty good

Dr. Heather Andrea Williams of Pennsylvania State University joins Dr. 
Walter Edgar for another Conversation on the Civil War, 1865. The 
subject: emancipation and freedom. Williams is one of the world’s 
leading historians of the experience of slavery in the 19th century. Her 
award-winning first book, /Self-Taught: African-American Education in 
Slavery and Freedom/ (University of North Carolina Press, 2005), argued 
that education was inseparable from the fight against slavery.


This Friday is about the sonofabitch General Sherman

In his book, /Sherman: A Soldier’s Passion for Order/ (Free Press, 1992) 
John F. Marszalek presents general William Tecumseh Sherman as a 
complicated man who, fearing anarchy, searched for the order that he 
hoped would make his life a success. Dr. Marszalek talks with Dr. Edgar 
about Sherman as a military commander who came to abhor what he saw as 
the senseless slaughter of the War, and who sought a different strategy 
to bring the South to surrender.

War.
