Actress Says Stuntman Assaulted Her When She Was 12
Eliza Dushku said she was molested during filming of the 1994 movie “True Lies.” Two more women have since accused the same man of sexual misconduct.Accusation is not the same as proof.
I would like a legal conviction.
I will not volunteer to defend the accused.

Don’t Tell Ken Burns Quilts Are Quaint
The quintessential storyteller is fascinated by American quilts, saying it’s not so much a story as a question. Who are these people? Who made this?Women of limited means made these quilts.
The primary material is cotton. The dyes are aniline.

Cotton was a staple that could be stored for long periods and shipped long distances, unlike most agricultural products. It became the U.S.'s chief export, representing over half the value of U.S. exports from 1820 to 1860
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aniline#History
"Aniline was first isolated in 1826 by Otto Unverdorben by destructive distillation of indigo.[14] He called it Crystallin. In 1834, Friedlieb Runge isolated a substance from coal tar that turned a beautiful blue color when treated with chloride of lime. He named it kyanol or cyanol.[15] In 1840, Carl Julius Fritzsche (1808–1871) treated indigo with caustic potash and obtained an oil that he named aniline, after an indigo-yielding plant, anil (Indigofera suffruticosa).[16][17] In 1842, Nikolay Nikolaevich Zinin reduced nitrobenzene and obtained a base that he named benzidam.[18] In 1843, August Wilhelm von Hofmann showed that these were all the same substance, known thereafter as phenylamine or aniline.[19]"
Thirty six blue stars: There were 36 states in 1860
Summer 1860 seems good to me for the blue stars.
Probably in the South.

How to Get Over an Infatuation
A reader asks how to banish an old flame — one she doesn’t even like very much — from her thoughts and desires.I tried hard once. I do not want to try again.
You tried. I hope you do not want to succeed.
Sooner is better. As soon as you can is best.

Remaking a ‘Developer Special’ in Brooklyn
The generic townhouse in Carroll Gardens was nothing special. But now it’s family friendly, with surprising details.The spaces are easy.
The cost would be much less without Brooklyn.
I am still thinking Alfred.
I will buy something existing in late May or sooner.
Off the grid can wait a bit.
