You're a creep, aren't you? You've been... You've been following me. - No, I just noticed the book. - You just saw the corner of it. How did you know that? - I'd seen it before. - Twelve years ago in college. Sitting on the couch of a TA I was trying to make, waiting for her to come back out of the bathroom, hoping she'd have a condom. Somehow my unconscious had served that up. A memory I had never even recorded. Or was it there the whole time and all I needed was the access? If you're writing a paper, that's not the book I'd use. Well, who asked you? Hastings has his oral history. I'd start there. Interesting point. Grammatically, this guy was an idiot, which sort of gives credence to the theory that one of the clerks he had fired actually wrote most of this guy's major opinions. You could Google the clerk's sons, they'd love to talk to you. Exonerate their dad. That'd give you something that no one else has... Information from the odd museum show, a half-read article, some PBS documentary... it was all bubbling up in my frontal lobes, mixing itself together into a sparkling cocktail of useful information.
